Eddy Gronfier produces the music while Thomas Pieds creates the artwork and visuals. They were successful across Europe, especially France and Germany, with their 2003 hit single "The Magic Key", but since then were not able to repeat that success and remained a One-hit wonder.

One-T made their first appearance in France during the summer of 2001, with the release of the hit single "Music Is The One-T ODC". The single was a success and was ranked the 82nd best-selling single over the year of 2001. It was followed shortly by the single "Bein' a Star".

One-T returned to the dance music scene in the summer of 2003 with their single "The Magic Key", which introduced One-T's best friend, Cool-T, as the rap singer in the song. The title reached 9th place of the single charts and was ranked the 22nd best-selling single for 2003. "The Magic Key" was also well received in Germany, Poland and Austria, where it reached 5th place of the single charts, and Denmark, where it reached 4th place. Their first full-length album, The One-T ODC, was released in July 2003.

Several singles followed over the years, including the theme song for Starsky & Hutch, and Kamasutra, released in early 2005. However, none of them were very successful, and they remained a one-hit wonder in most parts of Europe.

One-T's second studio album, The One-T's ABC, was released in early 2006 as a digital album, and was available only on a few legal downloading sites, such as iTunes. In 2007, the album was released physically and garnered much success in France and the rest of Europe. Since then, no new albums and singles were released and not much was heard of the project afterwards, thus making it unclear if it was still active and if further material will be released.

In honor of the 20th anniversary of the musical group One-T, in July 2022 album The One-T ODC was remastered. Also, A music video for the remastered song was released The Magic Key, The Magic Key 2, together with Boogie Fre$h.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh Oh
The world has gone mad
I'm losing my cool, yeah
Might be asking for some help, yeah
2020 in my head, yeah
Baby please can you stay patient
I need more time, need to face it
You know it's hard to take a break sometimes

I feel a lot but I can't explain
I promise you it'll be worth it
Worth you kindness and compassion for me
Oh I
I need I need some time away

Oh I
I need some time some time away
