"'One Love'" is a non-album single by The Stone Roses. The single was released in the UK, U.S., Australia, Brazil, Germany, Japan, Spain, and France, peaking at #4 in the Roses' home country of the UK, their highest charting single up until that time. "One Love" has appeared on the compilation albums 'Turns into Stone', 'The Complete Stone Roses' and 'The Very Best of The Stone Roses'.

The song was used in an episode of the popular British television series 'Shameless'. In the scene in which the song appears, Frank Gallagher is seen dancing in the pub with his shirt over his head as he is drunk and high on ecstasy.

It is believed that John Squire played a Custom Fender Jaguar guitar with a variety of flanging and wahwah effect pedals to create the song's distinctive sound.

Ian Brown on "One Love": '"The chorus wasn't strong enough. We tried for an anthem. We wanted to cover all bases and ended up covering none."'[https://web.archive.org/web/20050211000834/http://www.pdmcauley.co.uk/OL.htm]
