"One Bad Thing" is a song written by Barry Gibb in 1969, with Maurice Gibb Re-recorded by Gibb for his debut solo LP The Kid's No Good. The original copyright of the song was originally credited to Barry and Maurice, but the other versions credited only to Barry alone.

"One Bad Thing" was re-recorded by Barry on 23 March 1970 for his first album The Kid's No Good, same day as "Happiness", but the album was not released, Barry was also proposed "One Bad Thing" as the second single from the album (after "I'll Kiss Your Memory") and its B-side was "The Day Your Eyes Meet Mine", but it was withdrawn. Atco Records pressed some copies of it, and was distributed to the radio stations in Canada and elsewhere but was not continued and it was decided to focus on a new Bee Gees release and was released around August. Gibb's vocal is almost lost to the backing track. He also sings background and harmony vocals The song features a country-ish guitar. Barry was heard singing in the intro, doubling the melody. In the summer of 1970, Gibb performed "One Bad Thing" in a German television show with "The Day Your Eyes Meet Mine". In a short interview, he explained that both songs would be his next single.

Polydor originally planned to release this song as a single on 2 October 1970, but when the Bee Gees re-formed, it was not released as a single in favour of the Bee Gees' single "Lonely Days" which was recorded after they reunited. In overall, it would be his third single.
