Singer: Matisyahu
Releasing Year: 2009
Language: English

One Day is a very groovy and addictive song. This melody has been penned down by the poetic group of the eminent singers and lyricists like Bruno Mars, Ari Levine, Matthew Miller and Philip Lawrence. Matisyahu’s debut single, this melody simply is a delight to the ears. The song has been recreated and remixed in the later years and this melody also had featured on the Listen Up! The Official 2010 FIFA World Cup Album. The song was also used in various shows and sports events like the 2010 Winter Olympics campaign and in the end of the first trailer of the film Waiting for Superman. The lyrics are quite conversational and metaphorical. The melody harmonises well with the pensive and the relaxed mood.
