The remix of One by One is what I consider an essential gay anthem. What I draw from the lyrics is a message of unity and acceptance. I know that she's singing about one man, but hearing her sing "We're gonna love one another", I think of how we need to support one another and quit being so divisive and marginalized.

I think that fans of the album Believe owe it to themselves to also buy this single.

When I first heard this song over 5 years ago,I was shooked to find out it was Cher.Her vocals are so different,especially in the begining.I can't understand why this wasn't a bigger hit than "Believe."Also,I love Cher's new song,"THis is the song for the lonely." I think its going to be a huge hit,and Cher wrote the number also.There's no stopping her.

This is definately one of my top favorite Cher songs. Cher has always been known to sing songs about acceptance, love, unity and understanding. This song is no exception. The mixes are quite good. The version of ONE BY ONE with Melle Mel is very nice, a sultry R&B song it's turned into. The Junior Vasquez Club Vocal Mix is my favorite on the maxi, turns it into a great dance song. In fact, the original version of this song was not a hit but the song was a hit on the dance charts with it's remixes, which was almost a precursor to the direction she would take with her 1998 album BELIEVE which brought her back. The X Beat Mix is great too, and there's also an X Beat Dub and the Junior Vasquez Club Dub. As well, the b-side "I Wouldn't Treat A Dog (The Way You Treated Me)" is on here, which was not on the US version of the album ITS A MANS WORLD. Overall a great single full of great mixes for an awesome Cher song!

"one by one" cher's first foray into the world of swirling lights and disco beats in a number of years took dancefloors by storm the year of its release and set the stage (and, perhaps, provided the inspiration) for cher's 1998 _believe_. the ablum version of "one by one" featuring melle mel is a sort of sade meets hip-hop groove while "i wouldn't treat a dog (the way you treated me) is sort of chers former incarnation as a rocker meets celine dione meets bonnie raitt. the four "one by one" remixes offer very little variation, unfortunately, and could easily have been collapsed into two remixes. the song, itself, though lyrically confusing, is undeniably catchy. between her resurgance as a dance diva, her book and her recent family revalations, cher is going strong and promises to accomplish great things over the next few years.

This is an amazing maxi single. You can find a very cool version of one by one with rap in it, I was surprised, then the junior Vazquez mix is incredible and the bonus song that is only included in the European version of its a mans world album. A must have
