Changes

}}'''"Only"''' is the eighth track on the 2005 album ''[[With Teeth (halo)|With Teeth]].'' . It was released as a [[Only (halo)|single]] in summer 2005, receiving the designation [[Halo numbers|Halo 20]]. It is known for its upbeat and synthesizer-driven instrumentation, and casual lyric delivery, reminiscent of 1989's "[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]"." It was censored on radio, though it was obvious that the word "fucking" was being cut out."Only" was the last song finished for ''With Teeth.''.[http://web.archive.org/web/20060430005415/httphttps://www.nin.comwiki/images/access5/2_26_055a/questions102005_02_26Questions10.gif] It was the second song that saw the release of its [[multitracks]] for fan remixes. ==="Down In It"==="Only" contains a verse that is very similar to a verse in the song "Down In It."'''"Down In It":'''''Just then a tiny little dot caught my eye it was just about too small to see/But I watched it way too long it was pulling me down'''''"Only":'''''Well the tiniest little dot caught my eye/And it turned out to be a scab/And I had this funny feeling/Like I just knew it's something bad''

This is the original album version. The track opens with programmed drums and a bouncy bassline, which establish a groove that lends it a somewhat disco feel. Reznor's vocals are largely spoken, which some have likened to the vocal delivery style of Talking Heads' David Byrne. Much like on "[[Head Like A Hole (song)|Head Like A Hole]]", the first section of each chorus is shouted. The drum machine used is the same as was used in the [[How To Destroy Angels]] track "[[Fur-Lined]]". Per the titles of the song's multitracks, a Bösendorfer piano was used on this song.

"Only" made its live debut on the [[2005/09/19_Phoenix,_AZ|third show]] of the [[With Teeth Fall Arena Tour]], and quickly became a setlist staple. This would continue for multiple tours, with "Only" appearing at most shows on the [[Performance 2007]] tour and almost every performance on the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]].

During the [[Live: With Teeth]] and Performance 2007 touring cycles, a unique intro would be performed with [[Aaron North]] and Trent Reznor on guitars. During the [[Lights In The Sky Tour]], a different, longer intro was performed solo by [[Robin Finck]]. From the [[NIN 2013 Festival Tour]] onwards, the intro was performed the same as the studio version. The song was played with live drums until 2014, when [[Ilan Rubin ]] began playing bass while the band played to a backing track. It was then occasionally performed as a remixed/mash-up version in collaboration with [[Boys Noize]] on Act III of the [[Peel It Back Tour]], using Boys Noize's song "Loaded" as the base.
