"It's You" is a song by the American sunshine pop band the Millennium, featured on their 1968 album Begin. Written by Michael Fennelly and Joey Stec, the song was produced by band leader Curt Boettcher and Keith Olsen. A veiled protest song, "It's You" features lyrics inspired by government censorship and contemporary conspiracy theories.

It was released in June 1968 as the lead single from Begin, as well as the band's debut single, paired with Boettcher's composition "I Just Want to Be Your Friend" as a B-side. The single was a commercial disappointment, failing to chart in the United States or United Kingdom. This performance presaged the eventual reception of the song's parent album the following month, which received positive reviews but again did not chart in either territory.

"It's You" has been retrospectively viewed favorably by commentators for its musical style and vocal performances, with some even describing it as among the greatest songs of the 1960s. Additionally, it has been noted for its similarities to contemporary works by the Beatles.^[1]
