"One More Second" comes from Serpentine Prison, the first solo album by the National's singer and co-songwriter Matt Berninger, released on October 16, 2020. It started out as a different project: Berninger wanted to make a covers record, went to Booker T. Jones because Jones had produced Willie Nelson's Stardust in 1978, and came out with an album of originals instead. Jones produced, and the two set up Book Records, a new Concord imprint, to release it.

Berninger wrote this one with Walter Martin. Jones sits in on Hammond organ, with Scott Devendorf on bass, Matt Barrick on drums and percussion, Brent Knopf on piano, Matt Sheehy and Harrison Whitford on guitars, and Gail Ann Dorsey singing backup. The album was recorded at Earthstar Creation Center in Venice, California.
