They began performing at local talent shows and caught the attention of a promoter during one performance, who introduced them to their future manager, Musa Moore. Moore had the group record their demo tape with producer V. Jeffrey Smith; this tape made its way to Kedar Massenburg, president of Motown Records, who offered Profyle a record contract.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I be talkin' sexiest shit to my girl
(Hello)
Yeah baby what you doin'?

One night is all I need
To make, make you, you mine
One night is all I need
One night, one night

One night is all I need
One night to make you mine
One night is all I need
One night, one night

One night to make you mine

[Chorus 1]
Give me one night
And I can freak you baby
Baby all night
Just back that thing up on me
Make you feel right
I'll keep you coming back for me
One night is all I need to make you mine

Look at your thighs and them lips
You're so fine, you're DA shit
Baby the way that you move
Makes it hard, can't refuse
Me and my dogs, we've been watching you
Across the room, all night
Baby you're lovely the way you shake
I bet you taste as nice

[Chorus 2]
Say ooh wee ooh wee ooh
Baby just work that ass for me
Say ooh wee ooh wee ooh
What you want, what you need yeah
Say ooh wee ooh wee ooh
Girl don't you front
Come with me
Let me love you for one night

[Chorus 1]

Baby no please don't you leave
Unless you leave here with me
No other lady compares
Ghetto fab, bad as hell
Ooh I'm sorry, can't let you go
Won't let you get away
You're so sexy
A girl like you don't come around everyday

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1: x2]

Say oh wee oh wee oh
Say oh wee oh wee oh
Say oh wee oh wee oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus 1]

Overall Meaning

The singer in the song "One Night" by Profyle recounts how he tries to charm his lady over the phone by talking sexy to her. He professes his desire to own her only for a night, needing it to make her completely his. He promises to make her feel right and keep her coming back for more. He can't take his eyes and thoughts off her curvy thighs and lips, and he's not alone as his friends are also admiring her across the room. He entreats her to back that thing up on him and work that ass for him. He assures her that if she comes away with him for a night, she won't regret it as no other lady compares to her.

The lyrics of the song may not sit well with some listeners who might perceive it as glorifying one-night-stands, objectifying women, or promoting the toxic masculine ideal of conquest. On the other hand, others may find it catchy or view it as an expression of a consensual relationship or a harmless flirtation. Regardless, it highlights the importance of clear communication and mutual respect in romantic relationships.
