"One Little Victory" is the opening track to Rush's 2002 album Vapor Trails, with music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson and lyrics by Neil Peart.
The track opens with a double-bass driven drum beat which continues throughout most of the song, alternating between itself and a simpler, albeit similar, beat during the verses and chorus.
Guitar and bass soon join in, and an interlude bridges the intro to the first verse. The song mostly follows a standard verse-chorus-verse-chorus pattern with an atypical guitar solo in the middle.
As with the rest of the album, the track has some issues with sound distortion. Some fans have voiced their disappointment with the quality, and hope for a remastering of Vapor Trails. There is no word, however, on whether it will ever happen.
The track is featured in the arcade racing game Need For Speed: GT, as well as in the Gamecube version of Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 in its original form as well as an instrumental edit.
One Little Victory was also used as a segue in the NASCAR pre-race show at Michigan International Speedway on Jun 16, 2002 as they introduced a section of the show detailing Dale Jarrett's latest win the previous week at Pocono Raceway which was his first win in NASCAR Cup competition since July 22, 2001.
