It Could Be You was the final song to be released from Blur's album The Great Escape (see 1995 in music. It was released in Japan only.
[edit] Lyrics
The lyrics are once again in theme with Blur's Britpop style of the early 1990s, with British people/things mentioned, such as Winston Churchill, The National Lottery, Beer and British Television, and lastly Trafalgar Square
.
There is a call and response section as the bridge of the song, in which Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon shout to each other "It Could Be You" or "It Could Be Me".
[edit] Video
The promotional video was a low-budget affair, similar to another 1996 song by the band, Stereotypes. It showed the band playing in a dark hall, with snippets of people bathing in the sea.
