Songfacts®:

  • Here, Bebe Rexha sings of finding her soulmate. It's a reminder that there is someone out there for everyone, someone who will love you for who you are and make you feel like you are one in a million.
  • You're my one, one, one in a million
    It's like someone picked you outta the sky
    Maybe I met you for a reason
    And I can't believe that we're both alive at the same time


    The song offers a unique perspective on finding one's kindred spirit.

    "Sometimes I think 'how am I alive at the same time as Beyoncé? I'm so lucky!,"' Rexha told Official Charts. "It's about when you find that one person that really speaks to you."
  • Bebe Rexha released the song as a single on August 4, 2023. "For me, right now in my life, I am that one person," she said. "I'm working on myself and trying to better myself every day. For me, I'm that one in a million."
  • The song is a collaboration with David Guetta. It marks the fifth time they've worked together, following "Hey Mama" (2015), "Say My Name" (2018), "Family" (2021), and "I'm Good (Blue)" (2022).
  • Rexha and Guetta co-wrote the song with Ido Zmishlany, Solly, Burns, Martin Coogan, David Guetta, and Timofey Reznikov. Burns also helped Guetta produce the song. A British songwriter and producer, Burns' other credits include Lady Gaga's "Rain On Me" and "Sour Candy," and Calvin Harris' "Desire."
