The One was the fourth single from the Backstreet Boys' hit album Millennium. This song was also used as the opening song in the shōnen anime Hanada Shōnen-shi. In a 2005 interview on The View, the group stated they never really intended The One as their fourth single. The group held a poll which allowed fans to choose what the next single off their album should be, and after Nick Carter himself called in and voted for "The One", his large fan-base followed. The song the rest of the group really wanted to be a single was "Don't Want You Back". A.J. McLean stated that "Don't Want You Back" was his favorite song the group had done.

Music video
The video was directed by Chris Hafner & Kevin Richardson. The video opened with a dedication to the Boys' fans, crew, band, and dancers. The video itself opens with a time-lapsed shot of an arena being converted from a basketball court to the band's stage for the Into The Millennium Tour, which is reversed at the end of the video. The remainder of the video is made up of clips of performance footage from the tour, and less notably, a number of panned still images and off-stage clips from being the scenes, or from other promotional appearances done for Millennium. The footage is not specifically related to "The One", though there are a few clips of the band synced to the lyrics. A soundtrack of screaming fans was added to the album version of the song to give a live feeling to the song.
Most of the video is in widescreen format, though the within letterboxed black area are pulses of color based on the brightness at the edes of the shots. The choruses mainly feature two different clips side-by-side, further letterboxing the video. During the breakdown before the final choruses, the normal letterboxed image is split horizontally into four segments and different clips flash between them with camera flash effects on the borderlines.
