"For You" was the sixth commercial single by the band Electronic. It was written by Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr with collaborator Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk, and released in September 1996 as the second single from the album Raise the Pressure. "For You" reached #16 on the UK Singles Chart.

[edit] Single

As was the trend in the 1990s, it was issued as two Compact Discs as well as on cassette. The first CD featured two exclusive B-sides ("I Feel Alright" and "All That I Need"), while the second had three previously released tracks from the period of their first album Electronic (the 12" remix of "Get the Message, its B-side "Free Will", and "Disappointed"). In Europe only the first CD was released.

[edit] Versions

"I Feel Alright", also written with Bartos, remains commercially unavailable, although the Marr-Sumner track "All That I Need" was included on the Japanese issue of Raise the Pressure and the 2006 compilation Get the Message - The Best of Electronic. The album version of "For You" was also included on this collection.

A UK 1-track promo CD featured a shorter edit than the single and album versions, and soundtracked its music video directed by Richard Heslop.
