Known for their infectious blend of disco, dance, and house, Australian duo Midnight Pool Party deliver a track draped in nostalgia and nu-disco groove. The song explores the bittersweet emotions of forbidden love, with verses expressing unspoken desires and a chorus that acknowledges the futility of those feelings. Darren of Midnight Pool Party, explains that “This song is about forbidden love. You’ll hear the verses are a confession of feelings you wish you could say out loud, and the chorus is an admission to yourself that all these words are just wishful thinking.
I first started writing this song back in 2020. At that time, I envisioned the lyrics would be a duet between two gay men, but never followed through with that idea until recently. Nick was someone at around that same time who was also making great music which kinda suited our scene, so we asked him to record some vocals for it."
The collaboration with Sydney-based artist Nick Pes adds an extra layer of depth and emotion to the track. Pes’s vocals complement Midnight Pool Party’s signature style, creating a seamless fusion of yearning lyrics and upbeat rhythms. "One Day" showcases Midnight Pool Party’s ability to craft music that is both danceable and deeply reflective.
