"You Are the One" is a song by Norwegian band A-ha, released as the fourth single from their third studio album, Stay on These Roads (1988). It was remixed by Justin Strauss for single release. The music video was filmed in New York City.


Music video

The music video was shot in New York and includes scenes from and around The Moondance Diner. The Moondance Diner was a diner in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, located at 88 Sixth Avenue, between Grand Street and Canal Street.

Crtical reception

A review in Pan-European magazine Music & Media stated: "After the heaviness of "Blood" this is the perfect follow-up to "Touchy". A lighthearted and immensely likeable song".[2]
