The next year, United Artists balked at releasing her next single "One Day at a Time", written by Kris Kristofferson and Marijohn Wilkin, which was previously a country hit by Marilyn Sellars. Before Lane's release of the song, Lena Martell had a No. 1 hit in the United Kingdom with her version. Stoller predicted the song would have a successful impact on the charts, and decided that Lane's version would be released in early 1980. "One Day at a Time" became Lane's biggest hit, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Chart.
