Background and writing edit

"You" was the band's first single as a duo. The lyrics were written by Ton Groen, while the music was composed by Niels Hermes. French music author Elia Habib described the song as "the notes from the piano are sharply separated with a beautiful consistency and constitute the backdrop of a melody served by the power of Marcel Kapteijn's voice".[1]

Chart performances edit

"You" was a number-one hit in Norway, spending 16 weeks in the top ten. In Sweden, the single peaked at number one for two weeks. In France, "You" also peaked at number one for two weeks.[2] "You" peaked at number four in Germany and remained on the chart for 43 weeks, and it reached the same position in Ireland.[3] In Austria, the song reached number two, while in Switzerland, it spent 32 weeks in the top 40, peaking at number three. It was the group's only hit in the UK, peaking at number 10.[4]
