One Night Only - Vale (Pop) Vale’s lyrical prowess is on full display in her new cut, “One Night Only.” The storytelling is exceptional here, with Vale using specific and unique imagery to take a track about a one night stand and elevate it into something with an identity all its own. In “One Night Only,” Vale tells a prospective suitor that they should make the best of the night they have, as it’s the only one on offer. There’s a melancholy to it though, as the track isn’t so much about a woman who’s only interested in carnality, but rather someone who is currently unavailable, but still wants to be shown earnest desire. The production is Top 40 worthy, with punchy percussion baked with a catchy little guitar effect as Vale’s vocals sit front and center taking a conversational tone, which complements the honesty of the storytelling.

Best Lyric: “My mom buys cigarettes and ice cream, what am I doing here.”
