"Only You" is a single by English band Portishead, released in 1998. It was later released in a promotional French language lyrics version.[citation needed]

The 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.

The band performed the song on American television variety show Saturday Night Live on January 17, 1998.
