You Belong To MeJo Stafford
A track produced in 1952 by Chilton Price, Redd Stewart, and Pee Wee King.
It has been recorded by many artists.
This version is by the American singer Jo Stafford and was sampled in Caviar’s 2000 track “The Good Times Are Over.”
You’re The BestJoe “Bean” Esposito
Joe Esposito is a soft rock singer-songwriter who gained popularity in the 1970s.
His brand of soft rock is packed with elements of soul, giving it a more energetic vibe than typical soft rock.
Among his songs, the one I especially recommend is “You’re The Best.” As the title suggests, it has the feel of a motivational anthem, making it a perfect match for moments of victory.
You Are So BeautifulJoe Cocker
Originally recorded by Billy Preston.
The version by British musician Joe Cocker was released in 1975.
It became a hit in the United States, Canada, and Australia, and the track was used in films such as Carlito’s Way and Modern Romance.
You are the Best aroundJoe Esposito
The classic song “You’re the Best Around,” released in 1984 by Joe Esposito, gained popularity as the theme song for the film “The Karate Kid,” which came out the same year.
Many people may know it from the 2010 remake by Jaden Smith, the son of Jackie Chan and Will Smith.
Its lyrics, which match the film’s themes, are memorable for their bold encouragement to “do your best!” It seems to have become established as a celebratory song overseas.

Your Favorite PlaceJoey Pecoraro
Joey Pecoraro, a rising beatmaker from Detroit, USA, boasts exceptional recognition and popularity in the lo-fi hip-hop scene.
Though he originally played guitar in a metal band—an unusual background for this genre—he later discovered J Dilla and Nujabes, which led him to start making beats.
In 2021, he released his long-awaited second album, “Old Time Radio,” showcasing various musical experiments.
Among Joey’s tracks, this time I’d like to introduce the classic “Old Time Radio,” released in 2018.
It was also included on the Japan-exclusive lo-fi hip-hop compilation “Chillhop Radio: Beats to Relax to,” released in 2019—a beautifully nostalgic piece that truly embodies the core of the genre.
Incidentally, the footage used in the featured video is from the film “The Premature Burial,” directed by the one and only Roger Corman.
You’re the VoiceJohn Farnham
A male singer who represents Australia and enjoys nationwide fame.
Active on the front lines since the 1960s, his soaring high notes have shown no signs of fading with age.
His 1986 release “You’re the Voice” not only became a massive hit but is also a classic that has been covered by many artists, including David Foster and Heart.
You & IJohn Legend
A tastefully crafted song suffused with sorrow and wistfulness naturally brings tears to your eyes.
It’s a deeply moving, cry-your-heart-out track by John Legend, where the grand message and high-level vocal approach truly shine.
Since it’s in English, be sure to pay attention to the lyrics and look them up.
