    One in a Million is the second studio album by Norwegian DJ and record producer Matoma. It was released on 24 August 2018 via Parlophone and Warner Music Group.[2] It was preceded by three singles: "Slow" (featuring Noah Cyrus),[3] "Lonely" (featuring Max)[4] and "I Don't Dance (Without You)" (a collaboration with Enrique Iglesias and featuring Konshens). It also includes the 2016 singles "False Alarm", a collaboration with British singer Becky Hill that was previously included on Matoma's debut album Hakuna Matoma, and "All Night", a collaboration with British boy band The Vamps that was included on the "Night Edition" of their 2017 album Night & Day.

    One in a Million debuted at number 12 in Norway and 17 on the US Dance/Electronic Albums chart.

    Music

    The album includes 15 songs broadly categorised as dance-pop with a tropical influence.[1] Billboard magazine mentioned its potential crossover pop appeal due to its "stirringly emotional moments and dance floor feelings".[1] Earmilk also noted the album's Latin influence due to collaborations with Enrique Iglesias and Yashua.[5] Dancing Astronaut called attention to Matoma's "sun drenched style" on the album and its changes in tempo, with "Slow" being "tamer" while tracks like "Sunday Morning" are "high energy".[6]

    In a track-by-track rundown of the album, Matoma explained that he decided to include "False Alarm" again because "the story behind the song and how much it has meant to me deserves a place on this album".[1]
