"One Song" is a song written and performed by Australian singer songwriter Archie Roach. The song was released in February 2022 as the lead and only single from his compilation album . In a video message upon release, Roach said the inspiration for the song is similar to that of "a place of fire" saying "that we all come from one place".[1] At the 2022 ARIA Music Awards, the song won the ARIA Award for Best Independent Release.[2] [3] Jessica Mauboy, Budjerah and Thelma Plum performed the song as a tribute to Archie Roach at the ceremony.[4] At the APRA Music Awards of 2023, the song was shortlisted for Song of the Year.[5]
Greta Brereton from NME said "It's a sparse, yet incredibly moving story of Country and connection, and passing cultures on to future generations. Backed by gentle acoustic guitar, the 66-year-old Gunditjmara and Bundjalung artist lets his warm voice carry the beautiful lyrics, a testament to his status as a music icon."[6]
