The song "Only One" by Tiffany (티파니) is a love song that expresses the artist's strong feelings for someone special. She wonders why her heart hurts so much and realizes that it is because of the person's piercing gaze. She wishes to embrace them tightly and not let them go, even if nobody else is by her side. When she is alone, she feels the weight of her emotions, but nonetheless she loves this one person wholeheartedly. The song is a heartfelt declaration of love with lyrics that express the depth of emotion the artist feels towards her loved one.
The chorus of the song speaks of the artist's intense longing to hold her loved one and her desire to see them again. The lines "If my hot tears can bring you back to me, I want to hold you in the reflection of my shining eyes" expresses her longing to see the person she loves and be with them.
The bridge conveys the message that the artist feels like she can only dream with her loved one by her side. The chorus 2 repeats the phrase "I love you" and how the artist is willing to express her feelings even though they are not reciprocated. She feels that the person is the one and only special one for her and the only person she will love in this world.
