Billie version

"She Wants You" is a single by English singer-turned-actress Billie Piper. The single reached number three on the UK Singles Chart, becoming her third consecutive top-three hit. The single also reached number four in New Zealand and was Billie's only song to appear on any US Billboard chart, peaking at number 23 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 and number nine on the Hot Dance Club Play chart.
"Girlfriend / She Wants You" was the second single released from the Japanese edition, released almost a whole year after the previous single, "Because We Want To" was released. It was featured in a Target commercial shortly after the US release.

Reception and release

The song received positive reviews from music critics. Yahoo! reviewer Rob O'Connor compared "She Wants You" to 1970s era disco music and wrote that the song is "greeting-card pop" with "factory beats designed for great dancing". Heather Phares, in a review for Allmusic, called the song an "upbeat dance-pop tune" that "captures youthful energy and exuberance".
The CD single featured two B-sides. The track "Last Christmas" is a cover version of the Wham! 1984 single. The song "It Takes Two" was originally performed by Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston in 1966.

Music video

"She Wants You" featured two music videos directed by Phil Griffin.

Original video

The original video features Billie dancing on a stage in a green catsuit. Throughout the video she is surrounded by several colourfully dressed male dancers. There were cut scenes of Billie and some of the other male dancers mucking around the camera close-up. Innocent had to decide which video to include on the enhanced single and chose the other video.

Alternative video

In the alternative video, Billie visits a drive-in with a group of girl friends. Scenes from the original video, which are featured as the film at the drive-in, are used as cut scenes. One by one her friends hang out with guys before Billie sees her 'perfect man'. Innocent had to decide which video to include on the enhanced single and chose this video.
