"One Time" is the debut single by Canadian singer

pop-soul influences, about puppy love.[2]

The song received positive reviews from critics, commending its production, vocals, and quality of lyrics. The song was a commercial success, reaching the top twenty in Canada, the US, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and New Zealand and also charted in several other countries. The single has been certified Platinum in Canada and the US. The accompanying music video portrays Bieber at a house party and features his mentor,

Background

The song was written for Bieber by veteran US hip-hop/R&B producer and songwriter

Throw It In the Bag" and others. "One Time" was produced by Stewart and production duo the Movement, while Harrell provided vocal recording and production.[5] The Movement also received writing credits for the song as did Thabiso Nkhereanye. Bieber recorded the song at RedZone's Triangle Sound Studios in Savannah, Georgia a few hours away from Bieber's then current home of Atlanta, Georgia. Bieber also recorded some of the track at The Boom Boom Room in Burbank, California. Mixing was done in Atlanta at Silent Sound Studios by Jaycen-Joshua Fowler and Dave Pensado.[6]

"One Time" is described to be in a "moderately slow

middle eight
the backing is not as much indistinguishable from the rest of the song, but is delivered a little slower leading up to the chorus and outro.

Critical reception

Bill Lamb of About.com called the song a "perfect kickoff to the career of Justin Bieber", noting the song had an effect of a younger

pop-soul bonafides with this refreshingly age-appropriate chronicle of young love."[2]

Chart performance

The song entered at number ninety-five on the

Pop chart at number eighty-four as the highest debut of the week. It has since peaked at number fourteen.[12][13]
It reached number twelve in Canada, where it remained on the chart for twenty consecutive weeks.[14] The single was certified Platinum in Canada by CRIA in September 2009.[15] It was certified Platinum by the RIAA in the United States in January 2010, selling over a million copies.[16] As of February 2011, the single had been sold over 2,132,000 times.[17]

The song has also achieved international success. It debuted in Belgium (Flanders) at twenty-six and peaked at twelve on the bubbling under chart, equivalent to peaking at sixty-two on the main chart.

UK Singles Chart at 135, and jumped to fourteen on January 10, 2010.[24][25] A week later on January 17, 2010, the song jumped again to number eleven, just missing out on the top ten.[25] The song peaked at number six in New Zealand, and at thirteen in France.[26][27]

Music video

Bieber featured in front of the gray-azure backdrop and in the pool scene with Usher in the video.

The music video, directed by Vashtie Kola, was posted by Bieber on his YouTube channel on June 13, 2009, almost a month before the single was released to iTunes.[28] Bieber's mentor, Usher and one of his closest friends, Ryan Butler make appearances in the video.[29] It features Bieber clad in a grey hooded sweatshirt grinning mischievously into the camera.[30] As of January 2019, the video had been viewed over 590 million times on YouTube.[31] Bieber made a comment stating "It was really cool going from my webcam to professional videos".[30] In a review of the video Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblat said: "Bieber does seem to share many of the qualities that made his idols the pop/R&B superstars they've become, including a clear, supple voice, pinup-boy looks, and bona fide instrument skills".[29]

In the music video, Usher, Bieber and Butler all portray themselves as the latter two are at Usher's house playing

video games
. Bieber receives a phone call from Usher, in which he asks him if could he watch the house until he gets back. After agreeing, Bieber holds a house party and tries to get close to one girl in particular, played by Kristen Rodeheaver, but is disappointed because he thought they were bonding but at the end of the video when they are sitting together at the pool, she kisses him on the cheek, then leaves. Originally, Rodeheaver and Bieber were supposed to hold hands and jump into the pool, but it was too cold. He then stands up and gets caught by Usher.

Live performances

Bieber performed the song on his promotional "My World" tour throughout the US. Internationally, he appeared on the European program The Dome and performed "One Time". As far as televised performances go, he performed "One Time" on MTV's VMA Tour to precede the

Urban Behavior Tour, and Fearless Tour, Bieber traveled in Europe to promote the album before returning to the US to resume his promotional tour. Bieber performed the song in Las Vegas for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest on December 31, 2009.[35] While promoting the album in the United Kingdom, Bieber performed an acoustic rendition of "One Time" on BBC's Blue Peter on January 12, 2010. He performed it on CBS' The Early Show as a part of their Super Bowl XLIV programming.[36] Bieber performed the song at a concert at the Hollywood Palladium, and August Brown of the Los Angeles Times commented, "'One Time', helmed by white-hot producer Christopher 'Tricky' Stewart, is an endearing, swaggering little thing in which Bieber convincingly jumps from Usher’s rapid-fire runs to pristine pop harmonies."[37]
