This is “One Thing Right,” a 2019 collaboration between Marshmello—who’s a music producer, DJ, and always hides his face with a mask—and singer-songwriter Kane Brown.

It’s a moving song about how, despite making lots of mistakes, meeting you was the one thing I got right—celebrating the encounter with someone special.

Blinding LightsThe Weeknd

The Weeknd – Blinding Lights (Official Video)

The Weeknd, one of the strongest singer-songwriters in contemporary R&B, added dazzling color to the music scene in 2020.

His fourth studio album, After Hours, released in March 2020, boldly incorporated 80s-style synth-pop and became a massive hit, topping charts around the world.

Among its tracks, the lead single “Blinding Lights” stood out as an uptempo, highly catchy number with a retro synth sound and a punchier beat than we usually hear from The Weeknd, racing up the charts.

It was also used as the campaign song for Mercedes-Benz’s first electric vehicle, with The Weeknd himself appearing in the commercial.

Together with its cinematic music video—showcasing his performance as a suspicious, film-noir-like character—the song truly became one of the defining tracks of 2020.
