One Night Lyrics

One Night of sin, yeah
Is what I'm now paying for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the earth stand still

Don't call my name
It makes me feel so ashamed
I lost my sweet helping hand
I got myself to blame

Always lived, very quiet life
Ain't never did no wrong
But now I know that very quiet life
Has cost me nothing but harm

One night of sin, yeah
Is what I'm now paying for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the earth stand still

Always lived, very quiet life
Ain't never did no wrong
But now I know that very quiet life
Has cost me nothing but harm

One night of sin, yeah
Is what I'm now paying for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the earth stand still

One Night

This was written by Dave Bartholomew and Dave King. Bartholomew wrote some of Fats Domino's hits, including "Walking To New Orleans," "Whole Lotta Lovin'" and "Blue Monday."

Smiley Lewis originally recorded this in 1956. His version hit #11 on the R&B charts, but didn't crack the Pop charts.

Elvis recorded this in February 1957. A year later, Elvis went into the army. During this time, Elvis was in Germany so his record company began releasing previously recorded tracks. In the US, this came out in 1958; in the UK it was released in 1959. It was Elvis' first song to reach the top of the UK charts after he went into the army.

In January 2005 this was re-released in the UK to commemorate Elvis' 70th birthday. It went to #1, replacing Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock," which was also re-released. It became the fourth track ever to be #1 twice and only the third time in UK chart history that an artist has replaced themselves at the top of the charts. The other two occasions occurred in 1963 when The Beatles' "I Want To Hold Your Hand" replaced "She Loves You" and in 1981 when John Lennon's "Woman" replaced "Imagine." Both songs were re-released following Lennon's assassination.

The Jordanaires do not appear on any version of this. They do appear on the flip side of the record, a song called "I Got Stung."

This was Elvis' last single to be released in the US in the 78 R.P.M. format. After this, all of his singles in the US were released as 45's. Only England, Canada and other countries continued releasing his singles as 78's for some years after this.

The song's second ascension to the chart's peak position in 2005 was the UK's 1000th #1 single.

Other cover versions include one by English Glam Rock band Mud, which reached #32 in the UK charts in 1975. Also Joe Cocker recorded the song under its original title of "One Night of Sin" as the title track of his 1989 album of the same name.

One Night Song Chart

Indianapolis singer-songwriter Tiara Thomas first broke through when she featured on Wale's 2013 hit single "Bad." She signed in 2013 with producer Rico Love's Division 1 record label in a joint deal with Interscope Geffen A&M. This is Thomas' first single to be released from her debut solo album, The Bad Influence.

Thomas wrote the song with Rico Love when they were in Miami. She recalled to Artist Direct : "We did a week in the studio working. I sat down at the keyboard and played a little melody. We put some drums on it. We put the writing on there. It happened really organically."

"I remember Rico left the studio that night," Thomas continued. "There were like 16 bars for the rap, and I think I spent all night in the studio writing that rap. He came in the next day and listened to it, and we were both like, 'This is dope.'

"It sounds really different," she concluded. "I wanted my first single to be something that sounds different from all the other things on the radio. I wanted people to hear me rap and sing as well on my first look."

Thomas explained the song's meaning: "It's just a fun song talking about girls who use their money to get guys - not every girl though," she said.

"They just want one night," Thomas added. "It's just a fun song. It's not promiscuous. I'm not saying, 'Go out and have one-night stands with everyone.' It's what a lot of girls think sometimes."

The song's music clip is based on Thomas' favorite movie, the 1996 crime action flick, Set It Off. "I didn't want the video to follow the lyrics. I hate when the visual is really literal with the words of the song. I wanted my first video to be really cinematic," she explained. "We came up with a storyline that fit so we could use the Set It Off idea. It was a lot of fun. It turned out really good."
