One Second is the sixth studio album released by British metal band Paradise Lost.

The album marks the group's transition from a gothic metal act to a more electronic direction.

It is the bestselling record of their career and enabled the band to sign with the German branch of major label EMI.

A 20th Anniversary Edition was released on 14 July 2017, which contained the original album remastered by Jaime Gomez Arellano and an additional disc with audio from a Paradise Lost's concert at Shepherd's Bush Empire on 26 January 1998.

About the musical style of One Second, Nick Holmes told Decibel: "After we recorded Draconian Times and toured it non-stop, we just felt like doing something else—something a bit less up-tempo and darker, also Greg bought a keyboard!
