Songfacts®:

  • LCD leader James Murphy had a love/hate relationship with this song. He told NME, May 18, 2010: "I kept oscillating back and forth between this John Cale version and this country version I had in my head. The song nearly killed me for two-and-a-half weeks, but I couldn't get my head around it. I hated it, then fell back in love with it."
  • Murphy wrote "One Touch" with Rayna Russom and Nancy Whang. Russom voiced the whispers on the song and Whang the yells.

    A transgender electronic music producer and DJ, Russom has toured with LCD Soundsystem playing synths and percussion. Portland, Oregon-born keyboardist Nancy Whang joined LCD Soundsystem in 2002.
  • LCD Soundsystem performed "One Touch" live for the first time at Brooklyn Steel on November 16, 2023. It was the band's opening night of their 12-date New York City residency.
