"One Nation Under a Groove" is the title track of Funkadelic's tenth album, and Warner Bros. sent it out in September 1978 as the record's first single. George Clinton wrote it with Garry Shider and Junie Morrison and produced it himself, and it became the band's first million-selling single and the third for the wider P-Funk organization.
It has stayed a dance-floor funk staple and one of the band's best-known songs, the kind of groove that makes a whole room move as one, and in 2022 Rolling Stone put it on its list of the 200 greatest dance songs of all time.
