One Thing Right Lyrics
I've cheated and I’ve lied
I've broke down and I've cried
I’ve got nothing to hide no more
I've loved and I've hurt
Broken people down with words
More grace than I deserve, for sure
[Pre-Chorus]
Known to be crazy, known to be wild
Mama had herself a little devilish child
Ain't no stranger to the troubles at my door
[Chorus]
I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin' all the wrong things most of my life
Been every kinda lost that you can't find
But I got one thing right
Been the kinda guy girls' mamas don’t like
Runnin’ with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights
'Cause I’ve been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, you
[Post-Chorus]
(Baby, I got one thing right)
Mmm
(Baby, I got one thing right)
Yeah, I got you
(Baby, I got one thing right)
I got one thing right
You saw right through my pain
Kept us patient while I changed
Never even crossed your mind to walk away (To walk away)
[Pre-Chorus]
When I was gettin' crazy, reckless, and wild
Actin' like my mama's little devilish child
It took a heart like yours to find its place (Find its place)
[Chorus]
I’ve been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin' all the wrong things most of my life
Been every kinda lost that you can't find
But I got one thing right
Been the kinda guy girls' mamas don't like
Runnin' with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights
'Cause I've been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, you
[Post-Chorus]
(Baby, I got one thing right)
Oh
(Baby, I got one thing right)
Yeah, I got you
(Baby, I got one thing right)
I got one thing right
I've been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, I got one thing right
[Chorus]
I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin' all the wrong things most of my life
Been every kinda lost that you can't find
But I got one thing right (I got one thing right)
Been the kinda guy girls mamas don't like
Runnin' with the wrong crowd on the wrong nights
'Cause I've been wrong about a million times
But I got one thing right, you
[Post-Chorus]
(Baby, I got one thing right)
Oh
(Baby, I got one thing right)
Yeah, I got you
(Baby, I got one thing right)
I got one thing right
I've been at the wrong place at the wrong time
Chasin' all the wrong things most of my life
Been every kinda lost that you can't find
But I got one thing right (I got one thing right)
About
“One Thing Right” is a first collaboration between Marshmello and Kane Brown and also marks Marshmello’s first collaboration with a country artist. The song primarily revolves around the idea that even though Kane has made many mistakes in his life, the only thing he did not mess up was being with his wife.
The song was originally teased as early as February of 2018, but was confirmed to be a collaboration with Marshmello (that would be released in 2019) on Thanksgiving of 2018. It was teased again in February of 2019 by both Marshmello and Kane on Twitter. The updated snippet featured a sound that resembled Marshmello’s music significantly more than the original version. The release date would finally be confirmed on June 17, 2019, in a tweet by Marshmello, as well as an Instagram live video by both artists.

The Marshmello one is coming out this month, I believe. I haven’t announced it yet, so there you go. Now we’re shooting the music video pretty soon. The music video is gonna be my biggest music video I’ve ever been apart of, so I’m just excited for the whole thing. And marshmello, their team’s very excited for it, so hopefully it does what they think it’s gonna do.
Well, I wrote it as a country song, so the lyrics are gonna be very more storytelling, but it is not gonna be in the country genre, no.

We wrote a tune that’s basically the opposite of that. It just…tells you everything that I’ve done wrong growing up and it’s saying that the one thing I did get right was you, talking about my wife.
