One Love is the fourth studio album by French DJ David Guetta, first released in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2009 through Virgin Records. Guetta's first major international release, the album received generally favourable reviews from music critics,[1] and was a commercial success, selling over 3 million copies globally.[2] It spawned a total of six worldwide hit singles throughout 2009 and 2010, most notably "When Love Takes Over" featuring American recording artist Kelly Rowland, "Sexy Bitch" featuring Senegalese-American R&B singer Akon, and "Who's That Chick?" featuring Barbadian recording artist Rihanna. Since the album's initial release it has since been reissued several times to include previously unreleased tracks and other bonus material.

One Love received generally favourable reviews from most music critics. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 66, based on ten reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[1] Entertainment website Digital Spy gave the album a very positive review and rewarded it four out of five starts.[6] The Los Angeles Times gave the album 3/5, saying "Guetta is at his best (and his most commercial) when he's equipped with a melody as chewy as his beats."[14] Ginger Clemens of Billboard calls it an effortless integration off catchy dance beats with expressive vocals, turning out Top 40-friendly songs while remaining true to dance club culture.[15] Allmusic: Even if everything seems built for the 12" format and then landed on an album anyway, Guetta's fans get all the well-done house music they desire, and then some.[16] musicOMH: He can doubtless get a party started every bit as effectively as either of those two [Paul van Dyk & Diplo] but, on this record at least, in dance terms he finds himself rather falling between two stools as he enlarges the walls of his big tent.[17] Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian gave One Love 3 out of 5 stars calling many of the songs enjoyable while favoring "Estelle's tender performance of the title track deserves special mention" and mentioning that "It feels like a series of tracks rather than a fully realised long-player."[18] NOW Magazine calls "One Love" surprisingly deep.[19] Observer Music Monthly calls it "the sound of the summer! If summer for you means a fake tan and drinking WKD for a week in the Med with the likes of Kelly Rowland and Will.i.am popping up as guests with your fave."
"When Love Takes Over" was released as the first single and featured Kelly Rowland. The song was a worldwide hit and peaked at #1 in the UK and won the Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical Grammy Award. "Sexy Bitch" was the second single from the album and featured Akon. The song has become a worldwide hit, reaching the top spot on thirteen different charts. It peaked at #1 in the UK as well as many other countries. "I Wanna Go Crazy" was the album's only promotional single, released on August 24, 2009. "One Love" was released as the third worldwide single from the album and featured Estelle. It topped the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs Chart. "Memories" was released as the fourth single on March 15, 2010 and features Kid Cudi. The song peaked at #1 in the Belgium, Czech and Netherlands. "Gettin' Over You", was released as the fifth worldwide single with vocals of Chris Willis, Fergie and LMFAO. This version can only be heard on the new version of One Love and One More Love. It topped the UK and France Singles Charts. "Who's That Chick?" is the lead single from the album's re-release One More Love. It features Rihanna.[20] Currently, the song's music video is part of a promotional ad campaign for Doritos.

I've been fragile for a long time
A big old hole inside my heart
And I was searching through the valley
Stumbled on love in the dark
Was afraid to try but afraid to never know
What it feels like to be loved
Had a hill to climb
but the places we could go
Oh, I gotta know
So if we ever, fell in love
Would the wind know, would the pain go, oh
So if we ever, fell in love
Oh, oh, oh
I was empty it was all gone
The birds would sing but made no sound
Till I met you, found I was all wrong
You picked me up right off the ground
Was afraid to try, and afraid i'd fall again
crashing down from the sky, you know
Had a hill to climb, but with you I my heart will mend
That's the one thing, we all wanna know
So if we ever, fell in love
Would the wind blow, would the pain go, oh
So if we ever fell in love
Oh, oh, oh
I just wanna know, I just wanna know
tell me tell me so, baby I just wanna know
(repeat x3)
So if we ever fell in love
would the wind know, would the pain go, oh
(yeah) so if we ever fell in love
Oh, oh, oh
So if we ever fell in love
oh, I wanna know what it feels like to be loved
