Background

edit

Urban said "I've always loved Pink's voice, but her artistry and her multi-faceted ability to create, and her God-given talent, truly makes her one of the greatest voices of our time." The song's concept is a couple trying to make their way back to one another after one partner regains consciousness following a night of drinking and the other half attempts to avoid yet another fight.[4]

Music video

edit

The official music video for "One Too Many" was directed by Dano Cerny, and released on 18 September 2020,[5] it begins with shots of various wreckage bobbing along the surface of the water, including a guitar, a telephone, sheet music and other items. Urban is out on the water, using a bobbing sofa as a life raft as he floats along. Then back on shore, Pink sits alone on the beach as she looks out to sea. The pair harmonize as they head into the chorus, each singing out towards each other even though they're not physically in the same spot.[6]
