For Once In My LifeStevie Wonder53rank/position

For Once In My Life

This is a signature work by the American genius Stevie Wonder, who captured the joy of being needed by someone for the first time in life with an effervescent sound.

Originally a gentle ballad, it was boldly rearranged into a vibrant Motown sound at the suggestion of a young Stevie, who wanted to “embody joy.” The lyrics celebrate the rising self-esteem and happiness that come with finding a loved one, and the melody alone lifts your spirits—both are striking features of this piece.

Released as a single in October 1968, it reached No.

2 on the U.S.

charts, and the album of the same name, For Once in My Life, remains an enduring classic.

As its symbolic use in the TV drama Glee shows, this song gives you a warm push forward when you’re taking a new step.
