Music video

The video for "One (Always Hardcore)" was shot in the tunnel of the Elbe River in Hamburg, Germany. Footage from a concert is also featured, as well as scenes shot on a beach of lead singer H. P. Baxxter driving a Jaguar V-12 E-Type 1973 and a Mark 2 1961.[2] [3] [4] It was directed by Andreas Bardét and Tim Tibor.

Samples

"One (Always Hardcore)" is partially a cover of "Always Hardcore" by Neophyte, which itself is based on the chorus refrain of "Alive" by Pearl Jam, taken from the 1991 album Ten. The radio edit also contains a sample from "Move on Baby" by Italian Eurodance group Cappella.
