"My One Temptation" is the debut single by British singer Mica Paris, released as the first single from her debut album, So Good (1988). The song was released by 4th & Broadway and Island Records in 1988 and became Mica Paris' biggest hit, reaching the top ten of the UK Singles Chart and US Adult Contemporary chart. It was also a top twenty hit on the US R&B singles and Irish singles charts.
The song has been described as "haunting" by critics. Kris Kirk from Melody Maker wrote, "Ex-Spirit of Watts vocalist Mica drops the hot gospel and goes supercool secular with a jazzy, dreamy swayer of a dance track that's certain to be a summer hit, despite the fact I nearly dropped off."[1]
