We propose a new ``universal expansion" for one-loop amplitudes with arbitrary number of gluons in $D$ dimensions, which holds for general gauge theories with gluons/fermions/scalars in the loop, including pure and supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories. It expresses the $n$-gluon amplitudes as a linear combination of universal scalar-loop amplitudes with $n{-}m$ gluons and $m$ scalars, multiplied by gauge-invariant building blocks (defined for general gauge theories); the integrands of these scalar-loop amplitudes are given in terms of tree-level objects attached to the scalar loop, or by differential operators acting on the most important part which is proportional to $D$ (with $m=0$). We present closed-formula for these one-loop integrands and prove them by showing that the single cuts are correctly reproduced by the gluing of an additional pair of gluons (fermions/scalars) in the forward limit, plus $n$ gluons in a tree amplitude.
