"One Moment in Time" is a sentimental ballad by American singer Whitney Houston and written by Albert Hammond and John Bettis, produced by Narada Michael Walden as a promotional song for the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.

Houston recorded the song in May 1988 while in London for eight consecutive sold-out concerts at Wembley Arena during her Moment of Truth World Tour.

[2] Houston's vocals and orchestral backing by the London Symphony Orchestra were recorded at the AIR Studios complex owned by former Beatles producer George Martin, with additional backing recorded at Walden's Tarpan Studios in San Rafael, California.

At Clive Davis's request, Houston recorded a final set of vocals at her home studio in Mendham Township, New Jersey in July 1988.

According to Walden, Houston resented that Davis had interrupted her brief rest at home during a year-long world tour but agreed to make the final recording.
