## Background

In an interview with *Nylon* magazine, Lipa stated that "**Be the One**" is about "self belief, perseverance, and fighting for what you want [...] In this instance, it's about a relationship but really, this is an attitude I try to bring into everything in my life."

## Critical reception

"**Be the One**" garnered positive reviews from many music critics. Nieem T from *The Metropolist* stated "The bold pop piece sees the 19 year old’s vocals soar with confidence, her smoky tone proving fierce on the track, giving the otherwise smooth production true character and personality." Thomas Inskeep from *The Singles Jukebox* called the song a "Luscious pop song by a young woman with a rich, luscious voice".

## Lyrics

I see the moon, I see the moon, I see the moon

Oh, when you're looking at the sun

Not a fool, I'm not a fool, not a fool

No you're not fooling anyone

Oh, but when you're gone

When you're gone, when you're gone

Oh baby, all the lights go out

Thinking, oh that, baby, I was wrong

I was wrong, I was wrong

Come back to me, baby, we can work this out

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you

Just another chance so that I can show

That I won't let you down and run

No, I won't let you down and run

Cause I could be the one

I could be the one

I could be the one

I could be the one

I see in blue, I see in blue, I see in blue

Oh, when you see everything in red

There is nothing that I wouldn't do for you

Do for you, do for you

Oh, cause you got inside my head

Oh, but when you're gone

When you're gone, when you're gone

Oh baby, all the lights go out

Thinking, oh that, baby, I was wrong

I was wrong, I was wrong

Come back to me, baby, we can work this out

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you

Just another chance so that I can show

That I won't let you down and run

No, I won't let you down and run

Cause I could be the one

I could be the one

I could be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one

I could be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one

I could be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one

I could be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one

Be the one, be the one, be the one

Will you be mine?

Oh baby, come on, let me get to know you

Just another chance so that I can show

That I won't let you down and run

No, I won't let you down and run

Cause I could be the one

I could be the one

I could be the one
