'''"'''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]] (see [[Only (halo)]]). 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 (halo)|With Teeth]]''.[http://www.nin.com/access/2_26_05/questions10.gif] It was the second song that saw the release of its master tracks for fan remixes.
''''''"Only'''''' " contains a verse that is very similar to a verse in the 1989 song ''''''"[[Down In It (song)|Down In It]]''''''". Both mention a small dot that caught the attention of the singer, who couldn't let go of it.

The video for ''''''"Only'''''' " was directed by [[David Fincher]] and is largly created using advanced CGI. It features a desk with a laptop (A 17" Mac PowerBook), speakers, and an Einstein's Cradle and PinPressions being brought to life and animated by the music.
The video starts with a hand pressing the space bar on the computer, which starts its music program (iTunes with the Visualizer turned on). The Einstein's Cradle begins to sawy to the beat as ripples appear in a cup of coffee. [[Trent Reznor]] appears in the PinPressions, singing the song. As it gets to the second verse, the songs builds and the vibrations get more intense. Reznor seems to almost break out of the PinPressions as the balls on the Einstein's Cradle sway almost uncontrollably. The ripples in the coffee also have greater frequency. Finally an apple falls out of a neaby basket as Reznor disappears and the scene dies down. At the very end, a blurry image of a car can be seen driving away.
