"One Day" is a song performed by American reggae singer Matisyahu, first released in 2008, his first single since "Jerusalem (Out of the Darkness Comes Light)". The song was also included as a last-minute addition to Matisyahu's album Light. The song expresses a hope for an end to violence, and a prayer for a new era of peace and understanding. It appeared on the Modern Rock Chart at number 21 and at number 38 on the US Rock Chart; also in March 2010 it debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 90 and reached number 85.
In an interview with Spinner, Matisyahu told them: "'One Day' is the song I've been wanting to make since I started my career. It is an anthem of hope with a big beat, the kind of song that makes you bob your head and open your heart at the same time."
