You (S Club 7 song)

"You" is the ninth single released by UK pop group S Club 7 on 11 February 2002 as the final single from their third studio album Sunshine (2001). The track is an up-tempo retro number reminiscent of the group's fourth single "You're My Number One", and served as the theme song to their third series Hollywood 7 in 2001. The video is set in the 1950s and is described in the Best CD booklet as a "candy floss-bright, tongue-in-cheek 50s pastiche". This track was the last single to feature former band member Paul Cattermole and sparked the last leg of the S Club 7 journey. The song reached No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart. It also charted on the 2002 Year End Singles chart at number 70.

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.[1]

Music video

The first part of the video stars Rachel Stevens as a wife who cooks food for her husband portrayed by Paul Cattermole as he arrives home. But a mistress played by Jo O'Meara appears out of nowhere, distracts Cattermole and they start dancing. Then they enter another room through a curtain, revealing the other band members. The part ends with Hannah Spearritt dancing. The second part shows Stevens mowing the lawn. Jon Lee joins her, but soon goes to O'Meara, who is having a BBQ. The smoke from the grill shows the other six members dancing under umbrellas. Stevens looks while using a hose, which turns off then sprays her in the face. The third part takes place in the garage. Bradley McIntosh is repairing the car. Stevens looks at him, McIntosh does likewise. Then O'Meara appears in the car dancing with McIntosh. The others come in. Stevens is sad until the others sing to her. They all sing together and they drive off.

The music video for "You" was filmed after "Don't Stop Movin'" and was intended as the follow up single before the group were asked to record the Children in Need single ("Have You Ever") for that year.
