"For You" is a song by English band Electronic, comprising Bernard Sumner and Johnny Marr, with guesting co-writer Karl Bartos of Kraftwerk, released as the second single from their second album Raise the Pressure. "For You" reached #16 on the UK Singles Chart.
As was the trend in the 1990s, it was issued as two Compact Discs as well as on cassette. The first CD featured two exclusive B-sides ("I Feel Alright" and "All That I Need"), while the second had three previously released tracks from the period of their first album Electronic (the 12" remix of "Get the Message, its B-side "Free Will", and "Disappointed"). In Europe only the first CD was released.
"I Feel Alright", also written with Bartos, remains commercially unavailable, although the Marr-Sumner track "All That I Need" was included on the Japanese issue of Raise the Pressure and the 2006 compilation Get the Message – The Best of Electronic. The album version of "For You" was also included on this collection.
A UK 1-track promo CD featured a shorter edit than the single and album versions, and soundtracked its music video directed by Richard Heslop.
