"You" is a song recorded by Swedish Eurodance band La Cream, released in late 1998, by Arcade and Dr. Records, as the second single from their only album, Sound & Vision (1998). The song is sung by lead vocalist Tess Mattisson and also features some French lyrics. It was a hit on the charts in Scandinavia, peaking at number three in Norway, number 11 in Finland and number 12 in Sweden.[2] Executive producer is Dr. Alban. The accompanying music video was shot in Stockholm, Sweden, featuring Mattisson performing inside several rooms of the Stockholm City Hall.[3] "You" earned a gold record in both Norway and Sweden. Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote in their review, "This Swedish duo consists of singer/dancer Tess—who has worked with Dr. Alban, Basic Element and Dromhus—and DJ/rapper Andrez who has considerable club experience. Together they have come up with a potent slice of Eurodance. The song is already doing very well in Sweden and Norway, and it has the potential to repeat that success elsewhere."[1]
