"You" is the name of a 1991 song recorded by the Dutch band Ten Sharp. It was released in 1991 as their debut single from the album Under the Water-Line and became a hit in many countries, including France, Norway and Sweden, where it reached number one on the charts.
"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".
The first part of the song "Daughters" from John Mayer is a copy of this song.
The song was very successful, peaking at number one in three countries.
It 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.

The version of "White Gold" on the single is an edit of the version that appears as a B-side on the 1986 single "Last Words".
