"The One for You" is a song written by Swedish guitarist Danne Larsson and recorded by his group Tages in 1965. Following an intensive tour of the Sweden, while also previously having composed songs for the band, Larsson wrote the song inspired by their trip to London, allegedly about a girl he had met there. It was the first recording by Tages produced by Anders Henriksson, who would come to produce the majority of their coming output, along with being their first single recorded at Europafilm Studios in Bromma, Stockholm.
Released by Platina Records on 15 August 1965, the song was backed by a rendition of the Muddy Waters standard "I Got My Mojo Working" as the group's fourth single release. In November of that year, the single was included on their debut album, Tages, and has appeared on multiple compilation albums of the band's music. Lyrically, the song tackles the subject of love from a narrator's perspective.
Upon release, "The One for You" received warm reviews in the Swedish music press, who noted the apparent change in genres, praising the hard rock sound. American guitarist Chuck Berry's appraisal of the song in an issue of Bildjournalen gave Tages confidence. Though it was a large commercial success in Sweden, reaching the top-10 on the music charts Tio i Topp and Kvällstoppen, it underperformed in the charts compared to their earlier singles. Retrospectively, the song has been considered one of the group's best singles, with many critics noting the musical style.
