The English singer Robbie Williams recorded a cover of "She's the One" for his second album, I've Been Expecting You (1998). In November 1999, it reached number one on the UK singles chart. It was certified platinum.

World Party version

"She's the One" was written by Karl Wallinger for World Party's fourth studio album, Egyptology (1997).[2] The keyboardist, Guy Chambers, felt it was unfinished, likening it to a demo, and said it was "thrown together in one night".[3] The song won an Ivor Novello Award in 1997.[1]

Without Wallinger's knowledge, the English singer Robbie Williams recorded a version with Chambers and Wallinger's touring band.[3] It was included on his 1998 album I've Been Expecting You and released as a single on 8 November 1999.[4][5] It was Williams's second ballad after the success of his 1997 single "Angels".
