"She's the One" is a song by World Party, written by Karl Wallinger. In 1999 it was covered by Robbie Williams and released as a double A-side single with "It's Only Us". It was the fourth single from I've Been Expecting You. The song became Williams' second number-one single in the United Kingdom.

Williams featured in a campy and tongue-in-cheek music video where he was a figure skater. The song went on to win a number of awards around the world, including a BRIT Award for 'Single of the Year' and a Capital Radio Award for 'Best Single'.
