One Thing
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryin' to keep my eyes closed
Tryin' to keep it just like before
The times we never even thought to speak
Don't wanna tell you what it is
Oh, wee, it felt so serious
Got me thinkin' just too much
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
You did this 1 thing my soul may be feelin'
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin'
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it
You did this 1 thing an' I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did
Hey, we don't know each other well
So why I keep pickin' up my cell?
Memories just keep ringin' bells
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
Hear voices I don't wanna understand
My car keys are jinglin' in my hand
My high heels are clickin' towards your door
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
You did this 1 thing my soul may be feelin'
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin'
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it
You did this 1 thing an' I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did
An' maybe I just can't believe it
It's this one thing you did
I can't deny, tired of tryin'
Open up the door but I keep on seein' you
I'm hopin' you can keep a secret
For me, for me, for me, did what you did, yeah
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
You did this 1 thing my soul may be feelin'
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin'
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it
You did this 1 thing an' I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
You did this 1 thing my soul may be feelin'
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin'
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it
You did this 1 thing an' I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
You did this 1 thing my soul may be feelin'
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin'
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it
You did this 1 thing an' I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
You did this 1 thing my soul may be feelin'
It's this 1 thing you did
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin'
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it
You did this 1 thing an' I was so with it
It's this 1 thing you did
The lyrics to Kidz Bop Kids's song One Thing are about being unable to let go of a particular feeling despite trying to do so. The singer tries to keep their eyes closed and hold onto the past when they never even dared to speak. They don't want to reveal what it is that's bothering them, but it's one thing that has them tripping and feeling a lot. They cannot deny the effect that this one thing has had on their soul and it's one thing that caught them slipping, making them want to admit what they feel. Despite not knowing the person well, the singer keeps picking up the phone and hearing voices they don't want to understand. Memories keep ringing bells and driving them towards the person's door. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that they cannot keep hiding their feelings and asking the person to keep a secret.
The lyrics to this song are relatable and straightforward, touching on the feeling of trying to move on from something but being unable to. The song is intentional in its repetition of the phrase "it's this 1 thing," which reinforces the idea that the one thing causing these emotions is significant to the singer. Moreover, the way the lyrics are presented feels like a stream of consciousness with no particular structure, which represents the confusion and unsettled nature of the singer's mind.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh, been tryin' to let it go
I've been attempting to forget about what happened
Tryin' to keep my eyes closed
Attempting to avoid thinking about it
Tryin' to keep it just like before
Trying to maintain the same relationship we had
The times we never even thought to speak
The moments we didn't need to communicate to understand each other
Don't wanna tell you what it is
Not wanting to reveal the situation
Oh, wee, it felt so serious
It seemed like a significant event
Got me thinkin' just too much
Causing me to overthink
I wanna set it off but
I have a strong desire to talk about it
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
This one event is causing me to stumble emotionally
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin'
This one occurrence caused me to make a mistake
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it
I want to confess about this one situation
You did this 1 thing my soul may be feelin'
You did something that is affecting me at a deep level
Hey, we don't know each other well
We are not close acquaintances
So why I keep pickin' up my cell?
Why do I continually check my phone?
Memories just keep ringin' bells
I keep remembering situations that we shared
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding
I keep hearing reminders of our past moments together
Hear voices I don't wanna understand
I hear thoughts that I don't want to acknowledge
My car keys are jinglin' in my hand
I'm feeling antsy and nervous
My high heels are clickin' towards your door
I'm heading to your house with a purpose
It's this 1 thing that got me trippin'
This one event is causing me to stumble emotionally
It's this 1 thing that caught me slippin'
This one occurrence caused me to make a mistake
It's this 1 thing I want to admit it
I want to confess about this one situation
You did this 1 thing my soul may be feelin'
You did something that is affecting me at a deep level
An' maybe I just can't believe it
Perhaps I'm in disbelief about what took place
It's this one thing you did
It all comes down to this one event
I can't deny, tired of tryin'
I can't pretend anymore, I'm exhausted from trying
Open up the door but I keep on seein' you
I keep replaying the situation in my mind
I'm hopin' you can keep a secret
I'm trusting you to keep this situation confidential
For me, for me, for me, did what you did, yeah
You did something for me, that only I know about
