"Picture of You" is a song by Irish boy band Boyzone, released as the first single from their third studio album, Where We Belong (1998). Written by frontman Ronan Keating, Eliot Kennedy, and producers Absolute, the song peaked at No. 2 in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. As of February 2025, it is the group's most-streamed single in the UK, at 36 million streams.[1]

"Picture of You" served as the main theme for the film Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie, for which Rowan Atkinson appeared as his character with the band on both the single cover and in the music video. Its appearance in the film allowed the song to win the Ivor Novello Award for Best Original Song for a Film or Broadcast at the 1998 ceremony.[2]

Critical reception

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "This videogenic boy group continues in its quest to win the hearts of stateside teens with a cute confection that borrows heavily from the vintage Motown sound of the Temptations and the Four Tops. Unfortunately, their vocals are not nearly as soulful, even though their harmonies are note-perfect. Still, there should certainly be more than a handful of kiddie-driven top 40 stations that will find this track useful. Also, Polydor would be wise to court the mature ears of AC radio listeners, who will get a nostalgic charge out of this 'Picture'."[3] A reviewer from Music Week rated it four out of five, describing it as a "catchy pop/soul song".[4]
