"You" is a song by R&B artist Lloyd featuring rapper Lil Wayne, and was produced by Big Reese for Lloyd's second studio album, Street Love. It was recorded in the producer's basement. Lloyd himself has reported that he leaked the song to an Atlanta radio station to receive airplay.[1] The song samples Spandau Ballet's song "True". On February 8, 2007 "You" became Lloyd's first and Lil Wayne's second top ten single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, charting at number nine. The single debuted on the UK Singles Chart dated May 28, 2007 at number sixty-six with download sales alone, and moved up to number forty-five on downloads. The song also reached number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in the US, becoming both Lloyd and Lil Wayne's first number-one single on this chart.

The music video features D. Woods of Danity Kane as the leading lady. The video was inducted into the U.S. BET 106 & Park video hall of fame, after spending sixty-five days on the countdown, thirty-four of which were at number one.
