"You" is a song by British pop group S Club 7, released on 11 February 2002 as the final single from their third studio album, Sunshine (2001). The track served as the theme song to their third series, Hollywood 7, in 2001, and was the group's last single to feature band member Paul Cattermole. The song reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart, ranking at No. 70 on the year-end edition. The single features a cover of the Beatles's "The Long and Winding Road".

The song's music video is set in the 1950s and is described in the Best CD booklet as a "candy floss-bright, tongue-in-cheek 50s pastiche".[1] In a 2019 interview, Cattermole stated that the song was not the group's choice as a single, as they felt it was a step backwards from the more mature and contemporary sound they had established with the rest of the album but were overruled by management.[2]
