"The One" is a song by Australian singer and songwriter Kylie Minogue taken from her tenth studio album, X (2007). "The One" was written by Minogue, Richard Stannard, James Wiltshire, Russell Small, John Andersson, Johan Emmoth and Emma Holmgren, while production was handled by Stannard and Freemasons. The song was released by Parlophone in Europe and the United Kingdom, and by Warner Music in Australia and New Zealand. Originally the song was to be accompanied with a physical release to coincide with the UK leg of the KylieX2008 tour, but was released as digital-only instead becoming Minogue's second digital single after "Over the Rainbow".

"The One" was originally performed by dance music group Laid and Emma Holmgren, but decided to give it to Minogue. For "The One", there are two official composition mixes. The album edit is a midtempo synthpop song, while the single remix is a more upbeat dance-pop song. Freemasons decided to remix the original song for single release. Lyrically, the song is directed at a lover, telling him that she is the one and wanting him to love her. "The One" was generally acclaimed received from music critics, with many praising the musical composition, and lyrical content

Commercially, the song was not successful in the music charts, due to very limited promotion. The song did not chart in her native Australia, becoming a failure in the Oceanic region outside of reaching the top of the airplay chart in New Zealand and peaking at number ten on the dance chart in Australia. In Europe, the song managed to chart inside the top ten in Belgium (Flanders) and Slovakia, and reached number thirty-six in the United Kingdom. The song has featured in several concerts since its release, most recently being performed on Minogue's 2011 Aphrodite World Tour.

"The One" was officially announced as the fourth and last official single from Minogue's tenth studio album X (2007). "The One" was originally performed by dance music group Laid and Emma Holmgren, but they eventually gave it to Minogue to record. Their version managed to appear on the dance compilation Mastercuts: Funky House in 2006. The song was recorded and produced in Brighton, England where they came with other songs with other producers, one being "In My Arms". Minogue's version, however, features new verses than the original recorded.
