One Second is Yello's fifth original studio album, having been preceded by a 'new mix' compilation the previous year. Released in 1987, the album is noteworthy for featuring both Billy Mackenzie[2] and Shirley Bassey, the latter singing vocals on "The Rhythm Divine".

The songs "Call It Love", "Si Senor The Hairy Grill", "Moon On Ice", "Hawaiian Chance" were used on episodes of Miami Vice and the song "Santiago" used as a sample from Dunya Yunis' "Abu Zeluf". A couple of songs were also used in the 1990 film Nuns on the Run.[3]

The song "Si Senor The Hairy Grill" was used as theme song for the Fox TV show The Edge.
