M.i.a. The One

It’s been roughly six years since M.I.A. released her last project. In the past few years, she’s shared a handful of songs and appeared on Travis Scott’s “Franchise” alongside Young Thug. As fans anticipated her next move, she emerged this morning with the release of “The One,” her new single featuring production from Rex Kudo and T-Minus. It’s a bubbly record that leans closer to the sounds of trap music than any of her other releases.

The release of the new single also arrived with the announcement of her new album, MATA, which will be released under Island Records.

In addition to releasing her new song, M.I.A. also shared a slew of European tour dates that begin on June 1st.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Got a ticket for the city that’s fire
Tech 9 for the side that’ll fight ya
At a protest like come on and try it
Put your picket down come on and riot
Done roughed it over in the east side
Got a plane like I’ma let the trouble slide
Done stepped it over to the west side
Paper work yeah I’ma get it certified

[Pre-Chorus]
Head for the gate, art in the Tate
I’m the thing that sons imitate
You can’t stop the fate
Stop the weight lock away
Deny the debate relevant to the day

[Chorus]
When you’re tryna find the one
Why do you need reminding
No matter how you look at it
It’s me you keep finding
Tryna find the one
What you seeking ain’t hiding
Tryna find the one
It’s me you keep finding

[Hook]
Why you looking for the one one one
When you search is done done done?
Why you looking for the one one one
When you search is done done done?

[Verse 2]
Head to head, toe to toe
Showing up to go
They be sleeping on the heat
Yeah so I let em know
Zoned in dialed in
Tuned in to the core
Tryin’ to get the message out
So I help you grow
Spread my wings to the walk
I’ma put a swing
This time I’m gonna flip the whole thing
New era I’m gonna bring it in
To the basics
Get the club bubbling

[Pre-Chorus]
Head for the gate, art in the tate
I’m the thing that sons imitate
You can’t stop the fate
Stop the weight lock away
Deny the debate relevant to the day

[Chorus]
When you’re tryna find the one
Why do you need reminding
No matter how you look at it
It’s me you keep finding
Tryna find the one
What you seeking ain’t hiding
Tryna find the one
It’s me you keep finding

[Hook]
Why you looking for the one one one
When you search is done done done?
Why you looking for the one one one
When you search is done done done?
