Johnny Gill has enjoyed an illustrious career both as a member of New Edition and as a solo artist. The legendary singer returns to his solo roots with the brand-new single “One Night.”
Produced by Pagani, who co-wrote the song with Francesca Richard, “One Night” is a classic R&B slow jam and classic Johnny Gill. JG is bringing back begging as he offers this soulful apology to his lady. They’ve been having some issues, and he admits that he’s “been on that bulls**t lately,” but he’s hoping that some makeup sex will solve their problems.
“I don’t usually be beggin’, but tonight’s an exception / It’s only right / Gimme all that pressure / Sex is always better / When we make up yeah, it’s always that fire,” Johnny croons, ready to get down with the get down from the first verse. He may have done her wrong, but he just needs one night to be his woman’s Mr. Do Right. “One night / Gimme one night / Baby, your love / Make me do right / I been acting foolish lately, I apologize,” he convincingly sings on the hook to the one who has him hooked.
“This song is all about love, passion and the moments you never forget,” Gill wrote on his socials when the single dropped. “I poured my heart into it, and I can’t wait for you all to experience it with me.”
Johnny Gill’s “One Night” proves that there is nothing sexier than saying “I’m sorry” to the one you love and mean it. His grown and sexy version of an apology is sure to appeal to his loyal fanbase and find a home on Quiet Storm radio with its smooth sound and sentiment.
