World Party version

"She's the One" was written by Karl Wallinger for World Party's fourth studio album, Egyptology (1997).[2] The World Party 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 released as a single on 8 November 1999, Williams's second ballad after the success of the 1997 single "Angels". After "Millennium", "She's the One" became Williams's second number one on the UK singles chart on 14 November.[4] It became one of Williams's signature songs.[4]

"She's the One" won awards including a 2000 Brit Awards for British Single of the Year and British Video of the Year in 2000, and it also won a Capital Radio Award for Best Single.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". In 2022, the Guardian critic Alexis Petridis named "She's the One" the 11th-greatest Williams song, writing: “It's a great song, but Williams's less fragile, less Beatles-y take turned it into the kind of single that goes platinum."[5]

Wallinger was irritated that Williams and his band had recorded a version without his knowledge, and that Williams had changed the lyrics. However, he said it had made him a large amount in royalties, which were helpful after he suffered an aneurysm in 2001.[2]

Music video

In the video, Williams is a coach to an ice skating couple—portrayed by Pamela O'Connor and Jonathon O'Dougherty—but when the male skater gets injured during practice, Williams takes his place for the final and gets the highest scores. The video ends with Williams and the female skater celebrating with the male skater, who had been watching from the sidelines. Philip Woods, a 10-year-old figure skater from Chelmsford, played the young Williams in a flashback.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The UK version of the video features commentary by Barry Davies.[6]
