One Strike
"One Strike" is a song recorded by English-Canadian girl group All Saints for their fourth studio album, Red Flag (2016). The track was written by group member Shaznay Lewis and its producer Hutch, inspired by the breakdown of group member Nicole Appleton's highly publicised marriage to Oasis and Beady Eye frontman Liam Gallagher. "One Strike" is a mid-tempo, R&B, soul and synth-pop song that lyrically deals with the protagonist's emotions immediately after breaking up with their significant other.
"One Strike" was released for digital download by London Records on 23 February 2016 as All Saints' comeback single, and the lead single from the Red Flag. Upon release, the song was met with critical acclaim; critics praised the group's dreamlike harmonies and the understated lyrics, likening it to that of their 2000 single "Pure Shores". An accompanying music video was directed by Tom Beard and released on 4 March 2016; the black-and-white and low fidelity music video features the group singing and dancing in moody fashion. All Saints promoted "One Strike" with a live performance on Alan Carr: Chatty Man.
