One Moment in Time

"One Moment in Time" is a sentimental ballad by American singer Whitney Houston, written by Albert Hammond and John Bettis, and produced by Narada Michael Walden as a promotional song for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. It was released by Arista Records on August 27, 1988, as the first single from the compilation album 1988 Summer Olympics Album: One Moment in Time, produced in conjunction with NBC Sports' coverage of the games.

The song was a critical and commercial success, topping the Eurochart Hot 100 and the individual European countries Germany and the United Kingdom while reaching the top ten in several other countries, including the United States where it peaked at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped its Adult Contemporary singles chart. The song won Houston the Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 1989.

The song was later included on the second disc of her first greatest hits Whitney: The Greatest Hits; it is also on The Ultimate Collection and on the second disc of I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston.

It has been considered by media outlets as one of the greatest Olympic anthem songs ever recorded, with some such as Billboard citing it as the standard for all Olympics anthems to be measured by.
