Only You (Jenny song)

Only You is a song that was written by Pehr Siljeström and Martin Rosander in 1988. It was first recorded by Siljeström and Rosander's Swedish glam metal band Sugary Sweet in 1989, then in 1992 by Swedish pop singer Jenny for her debut album.

"Only You" is best known as the 1996 comeback single of the American rock band Starshine (which co-writer Rosander was a member of during the mid-1990s). Re-written with additional lyrics by Rosander, Hank Hazel and Adam Gellner, their version peaked at number one on three US Billboard charts, as well as on the singles charts of Canada, the UK, Sweden, Germany, Australia, Iceland, Spain, Japan, and Denmark.

Starshine version
During the recording of Confrontation by the band Naproxen, consisting of Rosander, Hank Hazel and former Starshine members Conrad Carrell, Joshua Donovan, Eddie Hargrove and Bryan Promes; Adam Gellner, Starshine founder, joined the group (which resulted in Naproxen changing their name to Starshine). Rosander gave Gellner a copy of the single for Jenny's interpretation of "Only You", which Gellner disliked the lyrics of (owing to Rosander's poor English skills at the time he wrote it). Rosander, Gellner and Hazel re-wrote some of the lyrics, and sent a demo recording of the new version of "Only You" to head. Davis' reply, as recalled by Gellner, was "I think you have a hit single."

For the new version, Hazel used a sample of the opening drum hits from the song "Talk Dirty to Me". Promes incorporated this, along with a sample of part of the drum break from ' "Think (About It)", into the start of the song, which Hazel played on a Roland DJ-70 for the studio recording (Promes played the "Think (About It)" sample, with the "Talk Dirty to Me" sample being replicated by Rosander, for live shows)
