Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about One Time. By Songfacts®.

This is the first single release by Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber, who came to prominence when his uploaded videos on YouTube started to draw views by the millions. He explained to Billboard magazine: "I started YouTube after I was in a singing. It turned out that people started liking it…so I just kept posting more videos." R&B superstar Usher took the then-13-year-old under his wing, and got him an audition with Antonio L.A. Reid at Island Records. Reid signed Justin to Island Records in October 2008.

The song is taken from My World, Justin's debut album. He was 15 when it was released. Justin's mentor, Usher, released his self-titled debut album at the age of 15 too.

Justin co-wrote this song with major league collaborators The-Dream and Midi-Mafia. The song is about one of his favorite subjects, puppy love. Justin told Billboard magazine: "It's just a fun pop record, and it's a song that the girls definitely like."
