Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "One Time" by Migos largely revolve around expressing the idea that sometimes, it only takes one experience to lead to memorable and enjoyable outcomes. The song features the repetitive chorus "only take one time" which is used to emphasize this point. The lyrics boast several activities, including smoking, drinking, and clubbing, that can be done in just one experience to make it memorable. The verses also talk about various ways this same principle works in other aspects of life. For example, it only takes one time to meet someone and develop an interest in them, get high with them, rob them or even embarrass yourself in public.


In one verse, the lyrics take a political turn with a reference to the rap group's label, YRN, and how they have put several of their fellow artistes on to the music industry. The lyrics also mention some of the more questionable events that could happen just one time, such as getting caught with drugs once or disrespected by their opponent for the first time. The song ends with a reminder that sometimes, no matter how one-sided a situation may look, it only takes one person to shift the tides, citing their success from starting as a Northside group and invading Atlanta.
