"Be with You" is a dance/pop song performed by singer Enrique Iglesias. It was co-written by Iglesias and, produced by Mark Taylor and Brian Rawling, the team responsible for Cher's hit song "Believe". Iglesias once stated that he initially came up with the lyrics of the song while taking a break from recording in London's Hyde Park. The song was released as the second single from Iglesias' debut English album Enriquein 2000. The song was successful, particularly in the U.S.

The official music video for this single was directed by Dave Meyers and starts out with Enrique and a bunch of friends (played by Enrique's real life friends including Gerardo Mejia) stopping at a road side store. While messing around in the store Enrique makes eye contact with the shy girl working the counter, his love interest in the video (played by Shannon Elizabeth). When the group leave the store, Enrique drives their jeep while the others perform various stunts including car surfing and interacting with girls in another jeep riding beside them.

The group stops at a foot of a some hills where Enrique notices Shannon, now wearing more provocative clothes and with a lot more confidence; he and the group follow her to a Nightclub (the now closed Point Night Club in Los Angeles) where Enrique searches the packed dance floor for his love interest when the music stops and changes to that of the popular Thunderpuss 2000 remix which builds up with shots of break dancers until the music turns back to the album version of the song. Enrique manage to find Shannon who gropes him and leads him out of the club. Outside, the two kiss as Fireworks go off. The entire video is intercut with shots of Enrique singing in front of a tribal background.

The video debuted on MTV's Total Request Livein February 2000. It was Enrique's first video to make it to number one on the popular chart show. Some airing of the video on MTV cut out the section of the video featuring the Thunderpuss 2000 remix. Music stations such as Much Music and various stations throughout Europe aired a version which featured the full album version of the song.

The Spanish version of the video is exactly the same as the English version, with the exception of Enrique mouthing the words in Spanish in front of the tribal background and when he interacts with Shannon.

"Be with You" became Iglesias' second number-one single in the U.S.. It also topped the Billboarddance charts and also charted in the top ten in Spain. The Spanish version of the song ("Sólo Me Importas Tú") reached peaked at number two on the BillboardHot Latin Tracks.
