One Thing Right
Marshmello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've broke down and I've cried
I've got nothing to hide no more
I've loved and I've hurt
I've broken people down with words
More grace than I deserve, for sure
Known to be crazy, known to be wild
Ain't no stranger to the troubles at my door
I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin' all the wrong things most of my life
Been every kinda lost that you can't find
But I got one thing right
Been the kind of guy girls' mamas don't like
Runnin' with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights
'Cause I've been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, you
(Baby, I got one thing right) mm
(Baby, I got one thing right) yeah, I got you
(Baby, I got one thing right) I got one thing right
You saw right through my pain
Kept us patient while I changed
Never even crossed your mind to walk away (to walk away)
When I was gettin' crazy, reckless, and wild
Actin' like my mama's little devilish child
It took a heart like yours to find its place (find its place)
I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin' all the wrong things most of my life
Been every kinda lost that you can't find
But I got one thing right
Been the kind of guy girls' mamas don't like
Runnin' with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights
'Cause I've been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, you
(Baby, I got one thing right) mm
(Baby, I got one thing right) yeah, I got you
(Baby, I got one thing right) I got one thing right
I've been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, I got one thing right
I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin' all the wrong things most of my life
Been every kinda lost that you can't find
But I got one thing right (I got one thing right)
Been the kind of guy girls' mamas don't like
Runnin' with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights
'Cause I've been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, you
(Baby, I got one thing right) mm
(Baby, I got one thing right) yeah, I got you
(Baby, I got one thing right) I got one thing right
I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin' all the wrong things most of my life

The song “One Thing Right” by Marshmello is a song about redemption, self-reflection, and growth. The artist sings about his past mistakes, including cheating, lying, breaking down, and hurting people with his words. However, he notes that he has nothing left to hide and has been given more grace than he deserves. Despite his wild and crazy reputation, he acknowledges that he has been at the wrong places with the wrong crowd for most of his life. But, he has one thing right - his love for his partner (the you in the song). The lyrics suggest that his partner has been patient, understanding, and supportive throughout his journey of self-discovery and change. He recognizes that he needed someone like her to find his place in the world.
The song has an optimistic and hopeful tone, suggesting that it's never too late to make positive changes in life. The repeated chorus - “Baby, I got one thing right, yeah, I got you” - highlights the importance of having healthy relationships and love as a driving force towards improving oneself. The song’s overall theme and message serve as a reminder that acknowledging past mistakes, taking responsibility for them, and striving towards self-improvement can lead to a better future.
