ONE OF THEM

"One of Them" is about that unforgettable moment when someone walks into the room and completely changes the atmosphere.

We've all experienced it. You're going about your day, and then someone enters with a presence that's impossible to ignore. It's not just beauty—it's confidence, energy, authenticity, and the way they carry themselves. They have something you can't quite explain, but you know it when you see it.

That's what inspired this song.

"One of Them" celebrates the kind of woman who doesn't have to demand attention because she naturally commands it. She isn't trying to impress anyone. She's simply comfortable in her own skin, and that confidence becomes magnetic.

From the opening line, "She walks like a breeze on a desert flame," I wanted to paint a picture of someone whose presence is both graceful and powerful. Every glance, every smile, every laugh leaves a lasting impression, making everyone around her stop and take notice.

When I sing, "I want one of them," I'm not talking about possession—I'm expressing admiration for someone who embodies strength, beauty, confidence, and authenticity. It's that feeling of meeting someone so extraordinary that they redefine what you've been looking for all along.

Musically, I wanted this track to hit with confidence from the very first note. Blending soul, funk, R&B, and hip-hop, "One of Them" delivers a groove that's as bold as the woman it celebrates. Voss brings another layer of energy with his rap verse, capturing the excitement and awe of being completely captivated by someone who stands apart from the crowd.

At its core, this song is a celebration of individuality.

It's about the people who don't follow trends—they set them.

The ones who don't compete for attention because their character, confidence, and spirit naturally shine.

Those people are rare.

They're... one of them.

[Verse]
She walks like a breeze on a desert flame
Turns every head without knowing her name
Sharp as a knife but smooth as silk
She’s the morning sun poured into milk

[Prechorus]
Every word she says
A melody sweet
Every move she makes
A drumbeat

[Chorus]
I want one of them
Yeah
One of them
Eyes like fire
A spark in the gem
I want one of them
Oh
One of them
Can’t just watch her glow and pretend
I want one of them

[Verse 2]
She laughs like thunder
Shakes the air
Confidence dripping like she doesn’t care
A puzzle unsolved
A book unread
But the pages burn inside my head

[Prechorus]
Her shadow dances
It’s got its own style
Her glance
It lingers
Stays for a while

Bridge (rap)
Saw her walkin', red dress killin' the block,
Heels hittin' pavement, time tickin' off my clock.
A comet in the crowd, left my brain in a knot,
Words got scrambled, thoughts got caught.

She's a diamond, no dust in her shine,
Every step she takes, rewrites the design.
Heartbeat jumpin', now it’s borderline,
I need a girl like her—make her mine, oh mine.

Break down
There’s nobody more special than you
Your beauty’s a star
I’ve never seen anything like you
And I never will again

[Chorus]
I want one of them
Yeah
One of them
A queen in a crowd
She’s the emblem
I want one of them
Oh
One of them
Heart’s racing fast
It’s an anthem
