"One Beer" (stylized in all caps) is a song recorded by American country music singer Hardy, featuring Lauren Alaina and Devin Dawson. It was included on Hardy's first mixtape, Hixtape, Vol. 1, in 2019 and released as the first single from Hardy's debut studio album, A Rock, released in 2020. The song was written by Hardy, along with Hillary Lindsey and Jake Mitchell.
"One Beer" tells a story about how just a single Bud Light led to an out-of-wedlock pregnancy and a shotgun marriage. Though the twist of fate resulted in the shelving of life plans, there is the ultimate blessing of a happy family of three.[1]
The official video was uploaded on February 7, 2020. It's the storyline of a couple that welcomes a baby at a young age. The video follows the baby into his childhood years, to his teenage years, and eventually his adult life where he fulfills his life-long dream of becoming a firefighter. Everything comes full-circle near the end of the clip when a dramatic twist finds the man back at his childhood home, which is up in flames.[2]
"One Beer" reached number one on the BillboardCountry Airplay chart dated December 5, 2020, becoming the first number one single for Hardy and Dawson, and the third for Alaina, who previously topped the chart twice in 2017 with "Road Less Traveled" and as featured on Kane Brown's "What Ifs".
