"You Are the One" is the second single by rock group Shiny Toy Guns from their album We Are Pilots. This single peaked at #25 on the Alternative Songs chart, at #94 on the UK Singles Chart, and at #23 on the Dance Airplay chart.

Music video

The music video begins with a girl trapped in a large bubble of water. The band is then shown to be playing in front of her. Throughout the video, she looks around inside her bubble, until the song's bridge, at which point the bubble explodes. Heavy rain then starts falling on the band, and intense winds begin to blow. The girl, now free from the bubble, is taken away by what appears to be an angel. The video closes with the band walking toward the camera.

The lead-off number, "You Are the One," shines thanks to some crisp arrangements that sounds like a blending of the Killers and Talk Talk." Both bands are considered new wave
