"You're the One" is a song by British singer and songwriter Charli XCX, released as her fifth single on 14 June 2012 exclusively in Australia under Warner Music, and the third single from her debut EP of the same name, and her major-label debut studio album True Romance (2013).

Charli XCX wrote the song while working in Sweden. Producer Patrik Berger sent her two beats, one of which became Icona Pop's "I Love It" and the other of which became "You're the One". Having just fallen in love, Charli wrote the song to be "about super amazing orgasmic love". The song first appeared in 2011 under the title "In the Dark", in a demo form on the official promotional album sampler of True Romance. When performed for Gigwise in May 2012, it appeared under a second title "Dancing in the Dark". A CD single was released for promotional purposes in a cardboard sleeve.

B. David Zarley from The Line of Best Fit praised the song, describing it as "goth pop combines pop song craft and approachability with a drenching layer of dark luxuriousness", and said it "shifts from clipped vocals and pallbearer shuffling verses to a lofting, romantic hook; the entire thing is a microcosm of the microgenre, vivisected and labelled and easily consumable." John Murphy from musicOMH said the song "will threaten to take up residence in your brain for months on end", and described it as "an [excellent] real pop nugget".Billboard placed "You're the One" 16th on its list of the best songs of 2012, commenting that Charli XCX "released a string of dazzle pop singles this year, none quite as fluttering as this synth-laden love song."

The video for "You're the One" was uploaded to Charli XCX's official YouTube channel on 3 June 2012, and as of 27 April 2013 has 527,505 views. The video features three different scenes, and switches between the three frequently; Charli and an army of children in a warehouse featuring a massive "XCX" on the wall, Charli in a room filled with giant lit-up hearts, and performing on a small, low-platform stage in front of a cloudy backdrop.

A video was made also for the Odd Future's "The Internet" remix, featuring Mike G, which appeared on the You're the One EP. The video is more similar to that of the "Nuclear Seasons" video, with a significantly lower budget, and features mostly short GIFs of Charli against colorful backgrounds changing constantly numerous times every second.
