About You

"You" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Chris Young. It was released in September 2011 as the second single from his 2011 album Neon. Young wrote the song with Luke Laird. The song is about a lover being told that her charm is the only thing that affects him the most. The song received mixed reviews from critics who were critical of its lackluster hook and content similar to Blake Shelton's "Honey Bee" and Jason Aldean's "Big Green Tractor". "You" was Young's fifth consecutive number-one hit on the U. S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. It also became his third Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 34. The song was certified Platinum after selling over a million digital copies in the United States. The accompanying music video for the song, directed by Chris Hicky, was shot in black-and-white and shows Young as a gas station attendant attracting the attention of three different women in various colored clothing.

The bluest skies don't seem so blue
And the stars seem to be a little dimmer too
Now that you're around you put 'em all to shame
Let me break it down 'cause what I am trying to say is

No on gets me like you and when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was, but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that makes me feel like I do about you

Got a whole new direction it seems these days
I used to rush off to work and get home late
But now I show up late and rush back home
My priorities are different, I can't leave you alone

No on gets me like you and when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was, but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that make me feel like I do about you

Girl if you ever get to guessing if I am thinking 'bout you
Just remember,

No on gets me like you and when you kiss me
Girl you rock me harder than some downtown band
I thought I knew what love was, but I didn't have a clue
I never found anything that make me feel like I do about you

You, oh you
