It is the second bonus track, and fourteenth track overall, off the deluxe edition of the album. It was written and produced by Tommy Brown, Travis Sayles, and Victoria Monét, with additional writing credits by Dennis Jenkins and Grande.

Live performances[]

Grande performed "Only 1" live for the first time at the Sweetener Sessions on August 25, 2018 in Los Angeles.[1] She later performed it on September 7, 2018, for the one-hour special, Ariana Grande at the BBC, which aired on November 1, 2018.[2][3][4]

Despite being released on My Everything (2014), "Only 1" was not performed during the Honeymoon Tour, nor was it featured on the setlist for the Dangerous Woman Tour. It was, however, performed during the majority of the second leg of the Sweetener World Tour, replacing "get well soon" on August 17, 2019, before ultimately being replaced itself by "Tattoed Heart" on October 3, 2019.

Lyrics[]

[Intro]
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
I want you, I want you
Let me introduce myself
Let me introduce myself
Let me introduce myself

[Verse 1]
Lookin' in your eyes makes me wonder how
I got so much time with you and there's more around
I know all the competition that's after you
So I get to thinking, is this too good to be true?

[Pre-Chorus]
That we’re living in a fairytale, no malice & no lies
Baby, ooh, it's hard to believe
That the love you have inside is only mine
That's how I know

[Chorus]
I can't be your only one
No, I can't be your only one
'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met
And your love is three times better
How could anyone forget?
No, I can't
I can't be your only one
No, I can't be your only one
'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met
And your love is three times better
How could anyone forget?
No, I can't

[Verse 2]
As I'm layin' down with you every night
It still gets to me, that you remain by my side
I ain't saying that I'm not deserving you
But I was dreaming bigger than I ever knew when I

[Pre-Chorus]
Wished for living in a fairytale, no malice and no lies
Baby ooh, it's hard to believe
That the love you have to give is only mine
That's how I know

[Chorus]
I can't be your only one
No, I can't be your only one
'Cause you look twice as good as anyone Iever met
And your love is three times better
How could anyone forget?
No, I can't
I can't be your only one
No, I can't be your only one
'Cause you look twice as good as anyone I ever met
And your love is three times better
How could anyone forget?
No, I can't

[Outro]
Only one
Be your only one
Only one
