"Only You" is a single by English band Portishead, released in 1998 by Go! Discs and London Records as the third single from the band's self-titled second album (1997). The song was later released in a promotional French language lyrics version.^{[citation needed]} Portishead performed the song on American television variety show Saturday Night Live on January 17, 1998.

British magazine Music Week gave "Only You" three out of five, writing, "Beth Gibbons's vocals are in typically gothic form on this smoky single, accompanied by Geoff Barrow's loping bassline and hip hop scratching."^[1]

The music 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.
