Men around the world believe in a little something called “a second chance.”  In rapper Nelly’s world, his label, Universal Motown, believes in a fourth chance; following the release of the St. Louis native’s new album, Brass Knuckles, which only sold a meager 84,000 first week copies according to SoundScan, Motown announced that One And Only would be sent to radio at the end of October.  One of three album cuts produced by Polow Da Don, the new single is the lone record on the fourteen-track LP that does not feature a guest artist.  An appealing choice for radio success, the record features Nelly rapping, Nelly singing the hook, and Nelly admitting that a fictional female (we know its Ashanti, bro) has taken his breath away.  This might be his last chance; did he win you over?

The beat is all bass, but it will do well for Nelly. I'm sure this one will become a hit.

Polow's production is pretty decent. It sounds pretty simple though, so I'm sure he stole it from some free beat making program as usual. Nelly always will be on my favorite artist list. "Country Grammar" was the first official hip hop album I actually owned myself and it always makes me remember Jr. high. This is some real ish. I commend Nelly for being real. I know it would have been cliche for him to hop on the autotuner for this one, but I say it would have made the song slightly better with a slight little bit of autotune. But this is a great track. Nelly is on another level. The rap breakdown was interesting. I was thrown off for a second...lol, but it was tyte. I'll give this four stars. Great effort by Nelly. I hope his next project fairs better.

I would like to hear a remix of this with T-Wayne....ooooo! I wasnt feelin this song too much when I heard the album, but it has grown on me a lot in the past week or 2. This is probably the best choice for a final single, its typical Nelly (although that hasnt worked out for him with this new album). Smooth production from Polow. Everything fits on this track though, I dont see why this wouldnt be a hit. Lets hope for the sake of Nelly that this one does some work .

Nelly might not have a diamond, or even a gold album on his hands with Brass Knuckles, but congrats to hear him trying to sing on a song, and he actually did pretty good, I was feelin the song greatly, specially with the almost never-ending bass beat, but when i guess Polow tryed to "break the beat down" it killed it for me.. ruined it.. take that part out and this song would be a BANGERR!!, I know i'll listen to it again though.

Great song!! Nelly singing??..damn better than i thougt it would be. Props to Polow Da Don one of the hottest producers in the game & never dissapoints. Nelly's hook was pretty good especially since he never does him. Lyrics are solid. Nice bass

Production is creative and chill. Chorus is a little to wordy in my opinion. In response to what others have said about Nelly resurrecting his career; I think this album will be the last we see of Nelly. Michael H, like you, Nelly was my first rap album that I ever bought and its sad to see him go but commercialism and success has reshaped into something different then we saw with "country grammar". Still an ok song. 3 stars.

Yeah the "take my breath away" part is the best one. Honestly production is excellent, it's Polow's! Beat is chillin, perfect for a r'n'b song, but I don't like Nelly...he'd better keep on rapping, I don't think he's so skilled in singing...but at least he tried! Let's hope he won't be carried away by singing lol

What happend to Nelly with this album? I gave the album a rundown listen and really, what the hell happened?
This song is and the "j's" song are my faves...This beat is so chill and smooth and Nelly does what he does best..being nelly and doing everything from singing (or something close to it) to rapping

I really feel sorry for nelly even though he is still rich but i was expecting high hopes from this heavy weight. But it has been proven fact that when an artist takes a max of 3 year leave of absense...thier career is over. They just lose touch with what's hot...So long Nelly.. :O(

Yea I love the beat,but Nelly shouldn't have sung on this one. He should have had Lloyd do the chorus. He would have made this song much better. This is his style here. Lyricly this is cool though. But Nelly, you can not sing. Ya style is harmony and I get that, but you crossed the line from that to, trina be a singer and you are not that.
