"You're the One for Me, Fatty" is a single by Morrissey released in July 1992. It was taken from the then-unreleased Your Arsenal album and was the second Morrissey single to be co-written with Alain Whyte and produced by glam rock legend Mick Ronson. The title is a reference to the Marvelettes' song "You Are the One for Me, Bobby". [4] The track reached number 19 on the UK Singles Chart.
This single was retrospectively described by Ned Raggett in AllMusic as "[a] smart, lively cut...with the overall title and overall mood still being as classically Morrissey as it gets." [3] Raggett did not think the B-sides were as strong in comparison but still "fine enough numbers, further evidence as to how the Your Arsenal sessions had re-energized [Morrissey]." [3] Raggett concludes his review, writing, "The tone throughout is relaxed and fun, almost in spite of some of the lyrics". [3]
All lyrics were written by Morrissey. All music was composed by Alain Whyte except where noted.
