It Might Be You


"It Might Be You" by Stephen Bishop is a soft rock ballad originally recorded in the key of G major. The song was written for the 1982 romantic comedy film "Tootsie." Stephen Bishop, an American singer-songwriter, performed the song, which became a major hit reaching number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Interestingly, the song was not originally intended for the film, but was brought in as a replacement during post-production. It has since become one of Stephen Bishop's signature songs. The melody of "It Might Be You" is characterized by its smooth and gentle guitar strumming, accompanied by Bishop's soothing vocals.
