| “ | Working with Troye and Tate was unbelievable! They are both such professional artists and contributed so much, it was an honor getting to work with them. They have such a great work ethic and are so talented. I couldn’t be happier about how “You” turned out. | ” |

"You" is a song by Kosovo-Albanian DJ Regard, Australian singer-songwriter Troye Sivan and Canadian singer Tate McRae. It was released through Ministry of Sound on 16 April 2021.[2]
Background[]
"Sometimes I think Covid has been creatively liberating because you have to think out of the box. We’ve shot everything from TV performances to this music video in three different continents. Tate was in LA, I was in Melbourne, Regard was in Kosovo. We made it work, and this idea takes the limitations and stretches them into inspiration for a really cool idea."[3]
On 1 April 2021, Sivan posted a duet of himself and McRae dancing and singing along to the song on his TikTok.[4] He also revealed that "some new work was coming".[5] Regard then uploaded a 30-second teaser clip of the song on YouTube.[6] On 9 April, Sivan went on to post pictures of himself with captions of the song's lyrics on his Instagram.[5]
Lyrics[]
[Troye Sivan:]
Ooh, yeah
All I see is you, is you, is you
Oh, you
How could you ever leave me without a chance to try?
How can I be sorry if I don't know the crime?
I should be mad 'cause you never told me why
Still, I can't seem to say goodbye
[Troye Sivan & Tate McRae]:
Ooh (Yeah)
When I try to fall back, I fall back to you (Yeah)
When I talk to my friends, I talk about you (Yeah)
When the Hennessy's strong, all I see is you, is you, is you, oh, you (Ooh, yeah)
Yeah, ooh (Yeah)
No, I haven't moved on, but trust me, I've tried (Yeah)
If I give you a call, don't hang up the line (Yeah)
When the Hennessy's strong, all I see is you, is you, is you, oh, you
[Troye Sivan:]
Oh, you
[Tate McRae:]
I'm good at overthinking
But I haven't even got this far
All I know is that my mind is
In the back seat of your Corvette car
You got me at my baddest (Baddest)
And you got me 'round your fingertip
Should be fed up with your bullshit
But everything about you, no, I can't resist
How could you ever leave me without a chance to try?
How can I be sorry if I don't know the crime?
I should be mad that you never told me why
Still, I can't seem to say goodbye
[Troye Sivan & Tate McRae]:
Ooh (Yeah)
When I try to fall back, I fall back to you (Yeah)
When I talk to my friends, I talk about you (Yeah)
When the jealousy's strong, all I see is you, is you, is you, oh, you (Ooh, yeah)
Yeah, ooh (Yeah)
No, I haven't moved on, but trust me, I've tried (Yeah)
If I give you a call, don't hang up the line (Yeah)
When the jealousy's strong, all I see is you, is you, is you, oh, you
[Tate McRae:]
Is you, oh, ooh-woah, oh, oh, you
Is you, is you, oh, you
[Troye Sivan & Tate McRae]:
I see your face in every stranger everywhere I go (Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice in conversations, every word you spoke (Every word you spoke)
Nearly blocked you on my phone about a thousand times
Yeah, I know I should say goodbye
(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)
Yeah, I know I should say goodbye
Ooh (Yeah)
When I try to fall back, I fall back to you (Yeah)
When I talk to my friends, I talk about you (Yeah)
When the Hennessy's strong, all I see is you, is you, is you, oh, you (Ooh, yeah)
Yeah, ooh (Yeah)
No, I haven't moved on, but trust me, I've tried (Yeah)
If I give you a call, don't hang up the line (Yeah)
When the Hennessy's strong, all I see is you, is you, is you, oh, you
