One Love is the seventh studio album by American R&B group New Edition, released on November 9, 2004 by Bad Boy and Universal Records. The group's first studio album since 1996's Home Again, One Love was conceived after their departure from MCA Records. Executive producer Sean Combs consulted a number of inhouse producers to work with New Edition on their first project with his label, including Stevie J and Mario Winans apart from other collaborators such as Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Ryan Leslie.
The album earned largely positive review from music critics who praised its production though some were critical with New Edition's shift in sound. One Love debuted at number twelve on the US Billboard 200 and number five on the Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. It was preceded by lead single "Hot 2Nite," which peaked at number 35 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. New Edition ultimately asked to be released from their Bad Boy contract amid disagrements with Combs on One Love's creative direction.
