Christian Lee Hutson’s “One, Two, Three” is a song that conveys a gentle warmth, quietly staying by someone’s side in the moments when they need support.

“One Two Three and I Fell” is a classic created by The Shondells, showcasing a brilliant collaboration with Tommy James.

Its understated yet memorable psychedelic sound proves their musical versatility and remains fresh across time.
While they took the world by storm with “Hanky Panky,” “One Two Three and I Fell” can be considered a hidden gem known to discerning listeners.

Al Stewart’s “One Two Three” is a song woven from simple phrases that nevertheless draws listeners into the complexities of international politics.
Despite its straightforward language, the lyrics contain sharp critiques of power and the media, revealing Stewart’s deep reflection.
It’s a track from the 1984 album “Russians & Americans,” which strongly reflects the era’s backdrop and conveys the tension of the Cold War.

One, Two, ThreeBroederliefde
Broederliefde is a hip-hop crew from Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
They’re well-known in the Netherlands, but I imagine most people in Japan aren’t familiar with them.
They’re recognized as a multinational crew, with members connected to places like the Dominican Republic and Cape Verde, and you can hear that in their music: their take on hip-hop blends in elements like Afrobeats and Calypso.
Their track “One, Two, Three” includes those influences too, so if you’re looking for hip-hop with a twist, this is a must-listen!
One, Two, Three!CH!PZ
Ch!pz is a music group from Amsterdam, known for their bubblegum pop and Europop sound.
They had a dedicated fan base in Japan during the 2000s.
Among their works, the one I especially recommend is One, Two, Three! Since this track is frequently used on TikTok, younger listeners may find it familiar.
It’s Europop packed with the vibe of the 2000s, making it a great pick for people in their 30s and 40s who want to reminisce about that era.

In the world of Western music, it’s not uncommon to come across songs that feature the phrase “one two three” in their titles.
Among them, “Onetwothree” by American bedroom pop artist Claud portrays the emotions of confronting self-doubt, loneliness, and barriers to communication with others by tuning into one’s inner voice.
The repeated phrase “one two three” sounds almost like a signal for help, and the contrast between the bright melody and the depth of the lyrics captivates listeners.
Despite fluctuating listener numbers, the song steadily draws support—be sure to experience its appeal for yourself.

Plain White T’s are a five-piece band from Illinois, USA.
Their music blends pop punk and pop rock with elements of emo, and they’ve earned support from some rock enthusiasts in Japan as well.
Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “1, 2, 3, 4.” This track is included on their second album, Big Bad World, and its acoustic sound and warm lyrics helped it gain popularity in the United States.
