Although Michael Jackson had long since moved on to Epic, Motown got a quick cash boost in the early '80s by issuing some tracks cut in 1975. "One Day in Your Life" is a song recorded by Michael Jackson for his 1975 album, Forever, Michael. This song written by Sam Brown and Armande. This title song even came close to making the R&B Top 40 and reached the middle of the pop charts. It was later released as a single in 1981 due to the strong buzz that generated from the sales of Jackson's hit 1979 album Off the Wall, even though Jackson released that album on a different label. While a modest U.S. hit, it was a bigger hit in the UK, where it became Jackson's first solo recording to hit #1 on the UK Singles Chart. It was number one in the UK for 2 weeks in June 1981, succeeding "Being with You" by Smokey Robinson. This song also featured strongly on the South African singles charts. It was released on the Motown label. It went on to become the 6th best-selling single of 1981 in the UK. In Australian Single Chart peak position #9, Dutch Single Chart #1, Irish Single Chart #1, UK Single Chart #1, US Billboard Hot 100 #55.

One day in your life
you'll remember a place
Someone touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around you
One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day
One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day
One day in your life
When you find that you're always longing
For the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there
