"One Day More" takes place on the evening of the 1832 Paris Uprising, where Jean Valjean, Marius, Cosette, Éponine, Enjolras, Javert, Thénardier, Madame Thénardier, Gavroche, Les Amis and the rest of the cast sing about what the next day has in store for them. In most productions it is the Act I finale.
The lyrics were written by Herbert Kretzmer, with the song serving as the finale to Act 1.
•Each character sings their part to a different melody at the same time, before joining for the final chorus:
•Valjean picks up the melody of "Who Am I?" lowered slightly to A Major. In the 2012 film Who Am I is already lowered.
•Marius, Cosette and Éponine sing to the melody of "I Dreamed a Dream" with Éponine's taking the bridge ("But the tigers come at night", sung by Éponine as "One more day all on my own")
•Enjolras repeats the bridge melody of I Dreamed a Dream but in a major key.
•Javert sings to the already often-used theme from "Valjean Arrested/Valjean Forgiven" or "Fantine's Arrest", only slower and in a major key.
•The Thénardiers sing to a slightly changed melody from "Master of the House."
