"Only You" is a single by English band Portishead, released in 1998. It was later released in a promotional French language lyrics version.
The video to "Only You" was directed by Chris Cunningham, who has also worked with Aphex Twin, Björk, and Placebo. It involved Beth Gibbons floating in air, and a young boy. The people were shot in a tank of water and then digitally inserted into an alleyway of a street scene.
The band performed the song on American television variety show Saturday Night Live on January 17, 1998.
