A compilation of Western songs with titles that start with “one day”
You probably often listen to Western music and find yourself thinking, “This word shows up in titles a lot, doesn’t it?” The same goes for Japanese music, of course, but it’s interesting to see the kinds of words artists tend to favor.
In this article, we researched songs—across genres—whose titles start with words that seem likely to appear frequently in lyrics, with “one day” as a prime example.
Literally, it means “a certain day” in Japanese, but it really feels like the kind of phrase that would be sung, doesn’t it? Be sure to check it out!

A roundup of Western songs whose titles start with 'one day' (11–20)
One Day Too LateSkillet
Skillet is a rock band formed in Memphis.
They specialize in Christian metal—a genre that sets songs about Christianity to metal—and are known for their many moving tracks.
Among their works, one I especially recommend is One Day Too Late.
This piece falls under Christian rock and is included on their 2009 album Awake.
It’s a touching song about the importance of spending time with family, so be sure to check out the lyrics.
One DayTate McRae
Tate McRae is one of the most talked-about female singer-songwriters in Canada right now.
She began gaining recognition after appearing on the reality show So You Think You Can Dance, and her songs are frequently featured on TikTok.
One of her standout tracks is One Day, known for its bittersweet lyrics that portray the feelings of young men and women pining for love.

One DayThe Verve
The reason The Verve’s music captures people’s hearts and doesn’t let go is likely because their songs have the power to strike a chord with listeners.
This track is a romantic wish, singing of reuniting with a loved one under a beautiful sky someday.
It appears on the album Urban Hymns, released in September 1997, and is on the same record as the band’s signature song, Bitter Sweet Symphony.
Offering the courage to overcome hard times and embrace the beauty of life, this song is a perfect anthem for anyone ready to take a new step forward.
One Day You’ll Be MineUsher
Usher is one of the most successful R&B singers of the 2000s.
A performer whose high-level dance skills evoke Michael Jackson and whose sweet vocals recall Babyface, he’s recently been gaining attention in the mainstream again.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “One Day You’ll Be Mine.” While the vocal lines are classic R&B, the track leans closer to neo-soul, making it a slightly unconventional song.
One DayMatisyahu
Matisyahu is a Jewish-American reggae singer.
His music blends reggae with elements of alternative rock and hip-hop, making each work highly distinctive.
Among them, the one I especially recommend is “One Day.” It’s not heavy dancehall; instead, it features a clean, easy-to-listen-to sound reminiscent of common alternative rock or pop.
I think it’s accessible even for people who don’t usually listen to Western music, so please give it a try.
In conclusion
This time, I put together a list of Western songs with titles that start with “One Day,” and it turned out that artists and bands of all kinds, regardless of genre, have used it in their titles.
That said, the context of “one day” varies from song to song, so be sure to read the lyrics as well.
