This Is It (Theme Song)

Original Netflix Title Card

### Seasons

Season 1-Season 3 (uncut/instrumental end credits)Season 4 (Shortened Version with Pop TV Title Card)

### Singer

Gloria Estefan

*This page is about the theme song of One Day at a Time. For the episode of the same title, see This Is It.*

**This Is It** is the theme song for *One Day at a Time*. It played for Season 1, Season 2, and Season 3 when the show aired on Netflix. For Season 4 on Pop TV, a much shorter version was played to make up for time loss. The singer is Gloria Estefan.

## Bio

The original *One Day at a Time* had the same song, but the ODAAT remake has much more Latin influence. The original version had the tune more in line with Sitcoms from the 1970s.

Since Pop TV, unlike Netflix, airs on a cable channel, episodes have to be 21-minutes long to fit the time frame, meaning the 50-second theme song has been edited down significantly and been given a revamp with a title card more suited to Pop TV's branding, and the extra seconds will be redistributed to the show itself.

The original uncut song sung by Gloria Estefan showed a montage of various locations around Echo Park and pictures of the Alvarez family in Season 1-Season 3 when the show aired on Netflix. An instrumental version was used for the end credits.

## English Lyrics

*This is it. (oh-oh-oh-oh)
This is life, the one you get
So go and have a ball.*

*This is it.
Straight ahead and rest assured
You can't be sure at all.*

*So while you're here enjoy the view
Keep on doing what you do
Hold on tight. We'll muddle through
One day at a time.*

*So up on your feet. (Pa' arriba!)
Somewhere there's music playing.
Don't you worry none
We'll just take it like it comes.*

*One day at a time! One day at a time!
One day at a time. (Un día a la vez, lo tomas un día a la vez).
One day at a time, one day at a time.
One day at a time!*

## Spanish Lyrics

*Así es (oh-oh-oh-oh)*

*Así es la vida, solo es una*

*Se debe aprovechar*

*Así es*

*Hacia adelante hay que mirar*

*Tengo el pasado atrás*

*Cada momento celebrar*

*La emoción, cada lugar*

*Poco a poco llegarás*

*Un día a vez*

*Por eso a bailar (Pa' arriba!)*

*La música te llama*

*Dejes de preocupar*

*Lo que venga hay que enfrentar*

*Un día a la vez (One day at a time)*

*Un día a la vez (Un día a la vez, lo tomas un día a la vez)*

*Un día a la vez (One day at a time)*

*Un día a la vez*

## Trivia

* The singer Gloria Estefan also plays Lydia Riera's sister Mirtha.

**Season 4** is the fourth and final season of *One Day at a Time*.

## Synopsis

*One Day at a Time* is a hilarious and heartfelt comedy that follows three generations of a Cuban-American family navigating the ups and downs of life.

## Netflix Cancellation, Move to Basic Cable, and Pop

On March 14, 2019, Netflix announced that the series had been canceled after three seasons. After the cancellation announcement, executive producers Gloria Calderón Kellett and Mike Royce began the search for a potential new home on another streaming service or network. All the while fans of the series began a campaign using the hashtag **#SaveODAAT** in hopes of getting the series revived.

Not long after the announcement, the show's producing studio Sony Pictures Television entered in talks with CBS in hopes of a revival for the series to air to the network's streaming service CBS All Access. A clause in Netflix's contract with SPT, however, prevents another streaming provider from carrying new episodes of the series for a period of two to three years, excluding traditional cable or broadcast networks. This complicated any agreement which used that avenue to continue the series.

On June 27, 2019, it was announced that Sony Pictures Television and CBS Corporation came to terms to continue the series for a fourth season with 13 episodes, which will air on CBS's Pop network in 2020. CBS also acquired traditional syndication rights, allowing it to share the previous three seasons with Netflix and air them as part of the schedules of not only Pop but the CBS Television Network to build buzz for the new season.

The series writers have confirmed the show is cancelled due to COVID.

## Trivia

* Since Pop TV, unlike Netflix, airs on a cable channel, episodes have to be 21-minutes long to fit the time frame, meaning the 50-second theme song has been edited down significantly and been given a revamp with a title card more suited to Pop TV's branding, and the extra seconds will be redistributed to the show itself.
* All 13 episodes of the season have been written, but only the first six episodes were filmed before filming had to be postponed due to COVID-19 concerns in spring 2020, meaning that after *Supermoon*, the show is going on a hiatus.

## Recap

Penelope is on the phone with Max when Alex walks in. He asks for money to go to the movies and Penelope gives him ten dollars. Alex says that that's not enough. Schneider arrives with Lydia, who had tripped over the sidewalk and hurt her arm.

She tripped because the roots of a tree had lifted the cement. Lydia suggests they go cut the roots of the tree with her machete. Elena tells her that Prop U could help her fix the cement but she has to vote. Lydia tells her that she doesn't vote.

Elena tells Penelope this and Elena asks how could she let this happen. Penelope says that she knew about that already and how she only votes every four years. Elena convinces Lydia to vote in the next election.

Alex and Penelope go to the movies where Penelope shows Alex how to save money. Elena studies with Lydia so that she knows how to vote. Lydia pretends someone is at the door to get out of it. Elena is excited to take Lydia to vote but Lydia pretends to not be able to walk so that she doesn't have to go.

Schneider says he has a wheelchair upstairs that they can use. They go to get it but Lydia locks them out instead. Penelope uses her key to get back in and they find Lydia trying to escape on the fire escape. Penelope asks Lydia why she doesn't want to vote.

Lydia reveals that she isn't a citizen. Penelope asks her why she hadn't become a citizen and Lydia says that she was busy. Elena tells her that she'll help her become a citizen but Lydia says no.

Alex and Penelope go to the movies again but get caught by the usher and are forced to leave the theater.

Elena talks to Lydia about becoming a citizen. Elena is worried that Lydia will be deported if she doesn't become a citizen. Lydia says that she couldn't become a citizen because then she'd have to renounce her Cuban citizenship. She says that becoming an American citizen feels like giving up.

However, she tells Elena that she'll think about becoming a citizen. Schneider says that he's going to take the test too. Alex tells Penelope that he needs to get a job so he can buy his own snacks.
