Born in Las Vegas, Nevada, 1nonly first dabbled in Garageband in music class, often for fun without any real serious intent. However, 1nonly's first known song, Forever in Love, would be first uploaded to Soundcloud on the 16th of January, 2019. This sparked the production of his Bedroom Pop genre of music. However, his very first song, Clear Skies was published in 2018 and was emo rap. His songs were regarding love and delicate emotions, often ran by a lofi-style hip-hop beat. This genre of music would continue, with small differences such as the addition of stronger bass and percussion until the 18th of June, 2020, as the release of "Doc Martens" would be the song that kickstarts his now present day genre of Aesthetic Rap. This new wave of rap, wouldn't have been popularised and formed without 1nonly's own inspirations of Lil Peep, $not and many other artists that helped shaped this new genre.
After realising the success Doc Martens received, he would later on the 15th of August, release, now a widely recognized song, Bunny Girl. This song was a massive success, receiving over tens of millions of streams across a multitude of platforms, and he would later upload an official music video to part with the song to YouTube. He continued to stick with the Aesthetic Rap genre and would go on to make memorable songs such as "Shakira!", "Lovely", "Fuck You!" etc. On the 11th of October, 2020, 1nonly would go onto to release his new song "Stay with Me". This song would reach records he had not achieved, and by date of creation has amassed over 150+ million streams on Spotify, causing it to go platinum. His unique style of lyrics and use of TikTok famous songs as sample truly secures an devoted audience. He would eventually be exclusively signed to Warner Records.
1nonly is known for collaborating with many artists, to name, Lilbubblegum, Shady Moon, Ciscaux and other popular underground artists such as Freddie Dredd and Jasiah. He has also been featured on Softwilly's YouTube channel in their video "We made a BANGER album on discord", and sang on ILY BABY - 1NONLY x SHADYMOON x VOID x LARRY and CHROME BERETTA (ft. Satori Zoom, Void, & Lex Pain). He is currently part of the rap collective "The World Is Yours". 1nonly's most notable producers are Nategoyard, $UPREME, and Shenrxn.
As of lately, 1nonly has changed his style of making music, focusing on shaping his own sound and moving away from the Aesthetic Rap genre. His other biggest hit, "Step Back!" featuring SXMPRA, a Phonk rap type beat that has amassed over 100 million streams, with the song blowing up on Tiktok and a music video published onto Youtube. This goes to show his versatility in his art and the switch up on his sound in which was carried over from his music he made in 2020-2021.
love at first sight
1NONLY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I don't hate you, I just hate myself
I swear it was love at first sight
W-when you told me you loved me
And I know I got problems
You hate when I speak
But I hope that you never gon' dub me
When I see you with him when I walked in
'Cause, girl, you knew all the
Pain that you caused
And you said it was me when you lost it
But now, it's too late
You never call me when you say
You never been there when I waitеd
Never been stabbed in thе back
In the back with a MAC
'Cause now I'm makin' money
With my cash in a stack
Don't call me when you off it
'cause it ain't solvin' our problems
Can you tell me when you honest?
Do don't lie to my face when you talkin'
'Cause I don't hate you, I just hate myself
'Cause I don't hate you, I just hate myself
Don't feel like myself no more
Blurry, spaced out, can you give me a moment?
(Give me a moment) i I need to find myself
Feel like I'm lost in a world with no-one
(With no-one) i want to be on my own
Plugged in headphones, zone out
Click Airplane Mode
I want to feel love just one more time
But I don't like the trusting process
She broke my heart, left me in the past
And maybe that's why I'm in love with smoking
Cigarette smoke, I'm coping
Champagne bottles help most of my problems
So, how can I shoot my shot like DeRozan?
(Shoot my shot like DeRozan?)
When all of these girls are frozen
I swear that I can't trust no-one
No more turning aback when I needed it most
I swear it was love at first sight
W-when you told me you loved me
And I know I got problems
You hate when I speak
But I hope that you never gon' dub me
'Cause I been off it when I'm walkin'
When I see you with him when I walked in
'Cause, girl, you knew all the
Pain that you caused
And you said it was me when you lost it
(Lost it, when you lost, when
You lost, when you lost
When you lost, when you lost, when you lost
When you lost)
I don't hate you, I just hate myself
'Cause I don't hate you, I just hate myself
'Cause I don't hate you, I just hate myself
'Cause I don't hate you, I just hate myself
