"You Are" is a song by English pop girl group Atomic Kitten. It was written by Paul Gendler, Wayne Hector, Ali Tennant, and Steve Mac and recorded for the 2001 reissue of the band's debut album, Right Now (2000), while production was helmed by Mac. "You Are" is an uplifting midtempo ballad; the instrumental elements used on it include keyboards, a piano, strummy guitars, soft drums, and a prominent string riff. Lyrically, the song finds the female protagonist expressing her love and affection for a man who doubts whether he is the right one for her.

The song was released as the seventh and final single from Right Now on 26 November 2001. It peaked at number 13 on the New Zealand Singles Chart and found success in several European countries, particularly in Flanders, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, where it entered the top 40. In the United Kingdom, "You Are" was released as a promotional single only since Innocent Records feared that the band would not be able to promote the single as intense as necessary to guarantee a top-10 entry due to overseas touring.^[2] A music video, directed by Phil Griffin, was initially planned to be filmed in New York City but was eventually scrapped in favor of a studio recording due to the 11 September attacks.
