"Only One" is the third single from American band Yellowcard. This song is the third and last single from their 2003 album Ocean Avenue and the sixth track. The song was written by lead singer Ryan Key about a "weird breakup" with an ex-girlfriend. Key has explained that it explores the difficult choice to end a relationship even when the other person hasn't done anything wrong, simply because one person needs space to "figure life out".
"Only One" was shortened, from 4:17 to 3:55, for radio airplay purposes. The violin solo in the bridge was cut. In this song, Key plays the bass.
