"Choose You" is a song by Australian-New Zealand recording artist Stan Walker, released as the second single from his second studio album, From the Inside Out, on 20 July 2010. The pop, R&B song was written by Stuart Crichton, Carl Dimataga and Cassie Davis, with the latter also handling its production with Stuart Crichton and Phil Tan. "Choose You" received positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its stomping beats and noted that it was radio-friendly. On the New Zealand Singles Chart, the song peaked at number three and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ). It also peaked at number 16 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart and was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). An accompanying music video was directed by Marc Furmie and was released on 5 August 2010. It features Walker having to choose between his former girlfriend or his music career.
"Choose You" was written by Stuart Crichton, Cassie Davis and Carl Dimataga. On working with Davis, Walker explained, "I'd only met Cassie [Davis] once before at the Aria Awards and we hit it off the first time we met, but I really didn't know her that well. I loved the song when I first heard it, and I loved the way she wrote it – it sounded awesome. There's a real magic to the song – it's a wicked pop song mixed with a little old skool R&B." Before the song was released for digital download, Walker gave an exclusive acoustic performance of "Choose You" to MusicFix. "Choose You" was sent to Australian contemporary hit radio on 12 July 2010. A week later, it became the fifth most added song to Australian radio, and the second most added song to New Zealand radio.
The song was released digitally in Australia and New Zealand on 20 July 2010. The Compact Disc single was released in Australia on 30 July 2010, and featured a remix of the song and two bonus tracks. An extended play of "Choose You" was also released the same date, and featured two remixes of "Choose You".
