"You Are" is a song by English pop girl group Atomic Kitten. It was written by Paul Gendler, Wayne Hector, Ali Tennant, and Steve Mac for the reissue of the band's debut album, Right Now (2000), while production was helmed by Mac. The string-led pop song was released as the group's seventh overall single and second single from re-release. It became the group's lowest charting single, failing to chart in Asia, the United Kingdom or Ireland, however, it did find success in Sweden, France and Austria.

The song was introduced on the re-issue of the album. The album version of "You Are", differs from the single version, as the single version features newly recorded vocals and a new musical arrangement. On the album version, Natasha performs every solo in the song. However, for the single version, Liz performs half of the verses, whilst Jenny performs the background vocals and responses.

The music video was originally planned to be filmed at Grand Central Station in New York City; however, plans had to be scrapped due to the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Instead, the video was filmed on a specially built stage set. Throughout the video, the group are on a glass stage with a plain white background and two large speakers either side of the stage. The video starts off with the group in a line sitting on chairs. A basic dance routine accompanies the chorus. After the chorus, the group walk about on the stage at a non stylised pace, and doing the jog moves on the stage, and close ups of the members' eyes, lips and faces conclude the video. Throughout the video, various scenes of a young couple are also spliced in.

"You Are" is one of Atomic Kitten's least successful singles worldwide. The record company originally thought the single was going to be a huge success, due to be written by Steve Mac, a songwriter that has produced twenty number one singles. However, the song was never promoted internationally - only in the United Kingdom where it was never released, and partially in Germany. The single became a top twenty hit in New Zealand, where it peaked at number thirteen, staying in the top fifty for fifteen weeks - a third of which were in the top twenty. "You Are" failed to reach the top fifty in Oceania. The song's best country to chart was Belgium (Wallonia), where it got into the top ten, peaking at number nine. It stayed in the charts for four weeks. In Belgium (Flanders), the song peaked at number twenty-four. It was their fourth longest single in the chart over there, lasting eleven weeks in the top fifty.
