"One Fine Day" is a popular song written in 1963 by songwriters Gerry Goffin and Carole King. It was a hit that year for black girl group The Chiffons, and in the time since that original hit it has been covered by numerous artists. The narrator of the song is in love with a boy who seems to be a womanizer, as he appears more interested in running around with other girls than in returning her feelings. However, she is confident that he will one day commit to her when he's ready to settle down: "One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl."
King and Goffin originally intended the song for Little Eva, who had had a #1 hit the previous year with their song "The Loco-Motion." However, they were reportedly unhappy with the way Little Eva's version turned out (see blank">http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1229), and so the song went to The Chiffons, who were coming off a #1 hit with "_He's So Fine." The Chiffons' version went to number five on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 29 on the UK chart in 1963.
