Recording and release
One Way Out is a 2013 recording of songs that Etheridge wrote in her early career, but felt like she couldn't release at the time. For this album, she reconnected with many of the musicians who backed her when she first started.
[2] These recordings were initially intended for a
box set that ended up being canceled and were released as a stand-alone album instead,
[1] which the artist completed during her downtime in the
COVID-19 pandemic
[3] to fulfill a request from her record label
BMG Rights Management .
[4] To promote the release, she recorded a music video for "For the Last Time"
[3] and toured, performing these songs alongside hits from throughout her career.

Reception
In a brief review ahead of the album's release, Tracy E. Gilchrist of
The Advocate called this album a "return to form" for Etheridge.

GLAAD Media Award , losing to
Montero by
Lil' Nas X at the
33rd award ceremony .
