What does a one hit wonder mean?

It’s when you do one great song, and that’s it.   It could also be a metaphor for somebody who’s great at something for a short period of time, but it doesn’t work out, or their career stops, and then they’re a one hit wonder.

So they only had one good song. Also really great at a career or something for a very short time.

Yeah, that’s an interesting way to look at it.   You could also say that a “one hit wonder” is an unknown artist who becomes a celebrity very quickly.   For example, Justin Bieber is called a “one hit wonder” even though he’s had many more hits, but he’s been so successful that people often forget about that, even though he did a lot more than one song.
