The song was used in an episode of the popular British television series Shameless. In the scene in which the song appears, Frank Gallagher is seen dancing in the pub with his shirt over his head as he is drunk and high on ecstasy.
It is believed that John Squire played a Custom Fender Jaguar guitar with a variety of flanging and wahwah effect pedals to create the song's distinctive sound.
Ian Brown on "One Love": "The chorus wasn't strong enough. We tried for an anthem. We wanted to cover all bases and ended up covering none."
