The One is the Elton John album released in 1992 that includes the song "The One."
It was John's 23rd studio album and arrived after a period of personal and professional change. The title track became a major international hit, while the album also included "Simple Life" and "Runaway Train," a duet with Eric Clapton.
The record was produced by Chris Thomas, who had worked with John on several earlier albums. Its polished sound helped reconnect John with a broad global audience during the early 1990s.
The album title is sometimes mistaken for a song-only release or a greatest-hits collection. It is a full studio album and one of John's most successful releases of that decade.
