Data Insight
David Guetta produces and co-writes throughout, working primarily with co-producer Frederic Riesterer (co-writer and producer on 'Memories' and others), Jean-Claude Sindres and Sandy Vee. The album is built around major guest vocalists who also co-write: Kelly Rowland on 'When Love Takes Over,' Akon on 'Sexy Bitch,' Kid Cudi (credited as Scott Mescudi) on 'Memories,' and Estelle on the title track 'One Love,' with further collaborators including will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Ne-Yo and Chris Willis. The 2010 reissue single 'Gettin' Over You' pulled in Fergie and LMFAO. This guest-vocalist-plus-Guetta-production model is the album's defining authorship structure.
