GRAMMY-nominated, multi-platinum artist, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Skip Marley pays homage to his iconic grandfather Bob Marley with his rendition of the Wailers’ classic “One Love,” out now across all platforms via Tuff Gong International/Def Jam Recordings. The video for the song was filmed in Kingston, Jamaica, alongside the adidas campaign at the Bob Marley Museum, as well as at Tuff Gong Studio, founded by Bob Marley.
The song is inspired by and released in celebration of the adidas x Bob Marley Foundation capsule collection, available now. Skip’s rendition both upholds a longstanding family tradition and honors Bob Marley’s enduring cultural legacy, bridging generations through music, style, and message.

“Football and music, both languages of unity, run deep in Jamaican culture,” says Skip Marley. “‘One Love’ has always belonged to the people. My grandfather’s music continues to uplift and inspire people to stand for something greater than themselves. That message still moves the world today. Reimagining the song for the adidas x Bob Marley Collection is a full-circle moment for my family and I; honoring my grandfather’s legacy while connecting music, football, and culture in a way that feels true to who we are.”
As only he can, Skip brings fresh fire to this version of “One Love.” Bold horns resonate skyward as a full-bodied beat drives the track forward. Over the vibrant soundscape, Skip delivers the iconic lyrics with raw reverence — “One love, one heart, let’s get together and feel alright.” For the Marley family, the release marks a full-circle moment, passing this timeless anthem from one generation to the next while placing it in the hands of a defining voice of 21st-century reggae.
The cover arrives alongside the adidas Bob Marley Collection — an 8-piece, off-pitch apparel range designed for players and fans alike. Created in close collaboration with the Bob Marley Foundation, the collection draws from archival photographs and historically significant garments worn by the legendary artist. Standout pieces include the lilac Firebird track pants originally worn by Bob Marley while touring Europe, thoughtfully reimagined for today.
Together, Skip Marley’s “One Love” and the adidas Bob Marley Collection celebrate the enduring power of music, legacy, and style.
In 2025, Skip dropped “In Our Sight” which skyrocketed to #1 on the Jamaican charts and garnered a 2026 NAACP Image Award nomination for Best International Song. He followed that up with “Cry Wolf” which was touted by VIBE, mxdwn Music, and more, Billboard praised how “Marley’s new track builds on classic roots reggae themes of unity in the face of injustice and a devotion to truth in an era of shameless propaganda.”
Skip Marley heeds a higher calling. Hailing from Kingston, Jamaica, Skip Marley creates with clear intention. His sonic alchemy of reggae, R&B, pop, and hip-hop mirrors a core mission to unify people of all kinds at all times. During 2017, he joined forces with Katy Perry on the double-platinum smash “Chained To The Rhythm,” then took flight on 2020’s Higher Place, which garnered a GRAMMY Award nomination in the category of “Best Reggae Album,” while the gold-certified single “Slow Down” [with H.E.R.] received a nod for “Best R&B Song.” He made history with the latter by emerging as “the first Jamaican-born artist to vault to #1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Chart.” It soared as “the quickest and biggest-streaming song in Marley family history.” In addition to earning nominations at the Soul Train Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and iHeart Music Awards, he has cemented himself as a dynamic force of nature who’s equally at home on a track with Rick Ross, Ari Lennox, and Seeb as he is with Damian Marley, Major Lazer, and Ayra Starr. Beyond packing houses on tour, he shined with television performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and on both Good Morning America and TODAY alongside Kacey Musgraves. In 2024, he notably contributed a powerful cover of “Exodus” to Bob Marley: One Love (Music Inspired by the Film)—which accompanied the blockbuster Bob Marley biopic One Love. Now, he kicks off his next chapter with the single “Close,” and plans to tease more music and live shows soon.
