"The Reason Is You" is a song by German singer and actress Nina Gerhard. She used to sing on several singles by German Eurodance music project Captain Hollywood Project, like "More and More" and "Only with You", before she went solo in 1994 with her frontname 'Nina'. [1] Written by Nosie Katzmann, "The Reason Is You" was released in 1994 as the first single from her debut album, Dare! (1995). It peaked at number two in both Belgium and Spain, and was a top-20 hit in Denmark and Iceland. Due to the popularity of the song in Spain and Belgium, it was re-released in May 1995. It was also released with Spanish vocals. [2] Two different music videos were produced for the song; one of them was filmed in Venice, Italy. [3] German photographer and filmmaker Ralf Schmerberg photographed the photo used on the cover of the single.
