It Would Be You is an album by American country music singer Gary Allan. It was released on May 19, 1998 on the Decca Nashville label. This was Allan's second album and it produced three hit singles, "It Would Be You", "No Man in His Wrong Heart", and "I'll Take Today." The title track was a #7 hit for him on the Hot Country Songs charts in 1998.

"No Judgment Day", the final track on this compilation, is a hidden track.[1] Written by Allen Shamblin, this song is based on the true story of a shopkeeper in Texas, whose children killed him in search of money.[2]

Several of this album's songs were originally recorded by other artists. "Don't Leave Her Lonely Too Long" was written by Marty Stuart, who recorded it on his 1990 album Hillbilly Rock; the song was a #42 hit for him on the country charts in 1989. "She Loves Me (She Don't Love You)" was originally recorded by Conway Twitty, and later by George Strait on his 1990 album Livin' It Up. In addition, the single "I'll Take Today" was originally recorded by Tanya Tucker on her 1994 album Fire to Fire, and by Ty England on his 1996 album Two Ways to Fall.
