One Thing at a Time
One Thing at a Time is the third studio album by American country music singer Morgan Wallen. It was released on March 3, 2023, through Big Loud, Republic, and Mercury Records. One Thing at a Time features guest appearances from Eric Church, Hardy, and Ernest, and was produced by Wallen himself, Joey Moi, Cameron Montgomery, Charlie Handsome, and Jacob Durrett. One Thing at a Time was primarily recorded in London at Abbey Road Studios, in studio number-two.
With a running time over 111 minutes, One Thing at a Time consists of 36 tracks and spawned eight singles: "You Proof", "Thought You Should Know", "Last Night", the title track, "Everything I Love", "Thinkin' Bout Me", "Man Made a Bar", and "Cowgirls", alongside the promotional single "Don't Think Jesus". Predating the release of One Thing at a Time, an extended play was released on December 2, 2022, and included three tracks: the title track, "Days That End in Why", and "Tennessee Fan". After One Thing at a Time was announced on January 30, 2023, three more tracks released: "Everything I Love", "I Wrote the Book", and "Last Night"—the latter became his first Billboard Hot 100 number one, peaking the chart for 16 non-consecutive weeks.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from music critics for being too monotonous, One Thing at a Time debuted atop the US Billboard 200 and spent 19 non-consecutive weeks atop the chart throughout 2023 and 2024. The album broke the record set by Garth Brooks' Ropin' the Wind for the longest-running number-one country album on the respective chart, and has spent 87 weeks atop the Top Country Albums chart. In March 2025, the album would become the second album to spend at least 100 weeks within the top-ten of the US Billboard 200, after Wallen's own Dangerous: The Double Album achieved the milestone in 2022. Aside from the US, the album would additionally peak atop the charts in Australia, New Zealand, and Canada—where the album holds the record for the most weeks spent at number-one by a male artist. In support of the album, Wallen embarked on the One Night at a Time Tour in April 2023.
On January 8, 2021, Wallen would release his sophomore studio album Dangerous: The Double Album. The album would receive positive reviews from critics, many of which praised Wallen's strong voice and clever songwriting, while some considered the album to be "about 19 songs too long", critiquing the thirty song length of the album. Regardless of the reception, the album would debut atop both the US Billboard 200 and US Top Country Albums chart, becoming Wallen's first chart topper on the former and his second on the latter. The album would eventually spend its first ten weeks atop the US Billboard 200, becoming the first album to achieve such a feat since Whitney Houston's Whitney did so in 1987. The album would remain a commercial juggernaut throughout the years, becoming the first album by a solely credited artist to spend 100 weeks in the top-ten of the US Billboard 200, and would set the all-time record for the most weeks atop the US Top Country Albums chart: 97 weeks.
On December 2, 2022, rumors began spreading that Wallen had been working on a follow-up to his sophomore album Dangerous: The Double Album. The rumors spread since Wallen would release One Thing at a Time (Sampler), his fourth extended play on that same day. The extended play consisted of three tracks: the title track, "Tennessee Fan", and "Days That End in Why". The three respective tracks would appear on One Thing at a Time when released. After the album was announced on January 30, 2023, Wallen himself stated and explained that One Thing at a Time would "bring together the musical influences that have shaped [him] as an artist – country, alternative and hip-hop". He additionally revealed that the album would have 36 songs "because [they] just kept exploring with fresh lyrics, music and production ideas and these are the songs that felt right" to him. Billboard would further describe the album as "genre-blending", and would reveal that the album artwork was taken at Wallen's grandfather's home in Sneedville, Tennessee.
One Thing at a Time is a country album that incorporates elements of country pop, alternative, and hip-hop—the latter genre is most relevant on the tracks "Ain't That Some", "Neon Star (Country Boy Lullaby)", "180 (Lifestyle)", and "Cowgirls". American rock band The Allman Brothers' "Midnight Rider" was interpolated on the track "Everything I Love", while Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug's "Lifestyle" was interpolated on the track "180 (Lifestyle)". One Thing at a Time explores themes of love, break-up, heartbreak, personal struggles, drinking, and redemption— while the tracks "In the Bible", "Don't Think Jesus", "Outlook", and "Dying Man" explore themes of Wallen's religious beliefs—believing in God, and rediscovering his spirituality.
One Thing at a Time received mixed reviews from critics, with a score of 47 out of 100 based on six critics' reviews at review aggregator Metacritic. Paul Attard of Slant Magazine found One Thing at a Time to be "wildly uneven" with "little here that could be considered fresh by Wallen's standards", as "his music is typically concerned with one of three things: getting shitfaced, being lovesick, or Jesus" while still having several "production flourishes" that see Wallen "experimenting, if ever so slightly, with his sound".
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic wrote that the album's "untrammeled sprawl [of 36 tracks] means [it] offers a little something for everybody", with "party songs, sad songs, songs that lift liberally from classic rock standards" as well as "songs about beer, songs about whiskey, and songs about wine". Sam Sodomsky of Pitchfork criticized the length, apparent ethos of "Wallen being true to only himself" while having 49 co-writers, and the tracks "covering the same thematic territory", although acknowledging there are occasional "minimalist rhythms" that "accentuate his gift for delivering tugging, bittersweet pop melodies" as well as "couplets clever enough to catch you off guard". Sodomsky felt that the title "seems to acknowledge that Wallen considers this a transitional moment" and concluded that "none of this leads to anything interesting enough to change how you think of Morgan Wallen".
