Mesterfremførelsen av Greatest Love of All var ikke nok for Whitney. Tre år senere inspirerte hun en hel verden med sin sedvanlige stemmeprakt og beskjeden i låten One moment in time. For Whitney var saken klar: Hun ville ha alt og hun ville gi alt for å få det. Det var ikke tid for noe mer beskjedent enn alt.
«My finest day is yet unknown. I broke my heart for every gain. To taste the sweet I faced the pain. I rise and fall, yet through it all this much remains: I want one moment in time (..) when all of my dreams are a heartbeat away and the answers are all up to me. Give me one moment in time when I’m racing with destiny. Then in that one moment of time I will feel, I will feel eternity. I’ve lived to be the very best. I want it all, no time for less. I’ve laid the plans, now lay the chance here in my hands. (..) You are a winner for a lifetime if you seize that moment in time. Make it shine. (..) Give me one moment in time when I’m racing with destiny. Then in that one moment of time I will be, oh I will be, oh I will be free.»
