“One day at a time, we just gotta do better. It’s ok to fall, just as long as you get up.”

Heartfelt optimism and lyrical depth pours through amidst a mainstream pop-hip-hop vibe, from indie’s iconic Boaty Blanco and Jimmy G Music.
Built around a dreamy pop arrangement and classic rhythm, One Day at a Time features a catchy and evocative hook that resounds in a relatable, uplifting and inspiring fashion, and threads this together with grittier, captivating verse bars from both Blanco and Jimmy.
The dynamic is strong, the subject matter fearlessly personal and revealing, and that vulnerability meets with the professionalism and appeal of the songwriting perfectly well – offering an original anthem that’s both meaningful and naturally catchy.
Telling stories that matter, keeping things authentic in both the heartbreak and positivity that consistently drives things, One Day at a Time pays tribute to close friends who lost their lives to drugs, and also makes its way through a series of equally painful experiences and lessons.
It’s a heavy listen, made beautifully light by faultless flows and rhyming patterns from both artists, and that balancing of ability and realness is crucial in letting this earworm of a track really pierce through the noise of the scene, connect on a genuinely human level.
