One Step Ahead is a song by American musician Jack Johnson. It was released on April 8, 2022, and is the lead single for his eighth studio album Meet the Moonlight.[1] Production[edit]Johnson worked on the song as well as the album with critically acclaimed producer and musician Blake Mills,[2] who has worked with other artists such as Fiona Apple, Andrew Bird and Bob Dylan. When asked how Johnson connected with Mills, he stated “When Blake and I first got in touch we’d send each other playlists, and over time we realized we were drawn to music that sounds effortless despite all the effort put into making it. After a while we got a language together and I gained a trust in him that allowed me to let go, push outside my comfort zone, and get to a sound I really loved.”[3] Most of the instruments in the song were performed by Johnson and Mills themselves, unlike Jack's previous record, All the Light Above It Too, where Johnson performed most of the instruments himself. Mixing and engineering was done by Joseph Lorge, who has worked with Mills on several projects, and with Phoebe Bridgers on her 2020 album Punisher.[4][5] Recording and production for the album took place at EastWest and Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, as well as Johnson's home studio, The Mango Tree, in Hawaii.[3] Composition[edit]In a Rolling Stone interview, Johnson stated that the song is about how communication and how we receive information is so different nowadays with social media.[6] The song is much heavier and includes more percussion than most other Johnson songs,[7] however, the chorus slows down and is extremely quiet. Johnson says this represents the listener trying to find a calm realizing place to breath through the noise.[6] Release[edit]Johnson began teasing a new project on April 5, 2022, when he posted on his Instagram and Facebook accounts footage of him recording a in his studio.[8] Later that week he shared a snippet of a new track, as well as the single cover for the song.[9] On April 8, the song was released on all digital and streaming platforms, and was sent to adult alternative radio on April 11, 2022.[10] Music video[edit]Two videos for the song have been released on Johnson's official YouTube.
