One Day in Your Life is a compilation released by Michael Jackson's former record label Motown Records, consisting of both solo and Jackson 5 tracks recorded with Motown, and released on March 25, 1981.^[2] It was the first Jackson album released in the 1980s. Most of the tracks are from Jackson's fourth studio album, Forever, Michael (1975). The other songs were taken from Jackson 5 releases to pad the album's running time. Motown later admitted that the album was just a quick cash grab generated from the success of Jackson's Off the Wall (1979).^[3]

The compilation's title track, which had already been released as a single a few times in 1975,^[4][5][6][7] was re-released as a single six years later and became a worldwide hit, especially in the United Kingdom, where it became Jackson's first number-one hit as a solo artist.
