"You Are the Reason" is a song by English singer Calum Scott. It was released on 17 November 2017 via Capitol Records, as his second original single from his debut album Only Human. It was produced by Fraser T. Smith.[1] The song has been streamed over one billion times,[2] and has sold over five million copies worldwide.[3] The music video, which has been viewed over 1.1 billion times, was filmed primarily in Kyiv, Ukraine, with aerial shots of Budapest locations such as Széchenyi thermal bath. A duet version with Leona Lewis charted internationally, and achieved over 270 million streams on Spotify, with its music video duet surpassing one billion views on YouTube in September 2023. [4]

Composition

According to sheet music published at Sheetmusicdirect.com, "You Are the Reason" is a moderately slow tempo of 58 beats per minute. Written in 68, the song is in the key of B♭ major.[5]Calum Scott's vocal range spans from C3 to B♭4 during the song.[6]

Music video

The official music video for the song was released on Calum Scott's YouTube channel on 5 January 2018. As of 27 October 2025, it has since gained nearly 1.3 billion views and 7.8 million likes.

The video shows Calum singing the song as he walks Kyiv's Khreschatyk Street, seeing couples and best friends walk by, making him feel lonely. The video then cuts to a scene in a house featuring a husband and a pregnant wife, then returns to Calum singing. He watches a family walking towards a car, but having the father separated from the mother and daughter. Calum leaves the scene and walks through the plaza overlooked by the Bell Tower of Saint Sophia Cathedral as the camera shows a spotlight being aimed at a building, which then shows a man inside the building talking to his anxious significant other.

The video briefly returns to Calum singing then shows a family, consisting of a husband, wife, and two adolescent children in a bedroom with the wife's sick elderly mother and the children's grandmother, depicting her last moments. The video returns to Calum fixing the collar of his coat, then cuts back to the scene of the sick grandmother, showing her dying as the wife cries. As Calum walks under a bridge, the camera cuts to a couple riding a taxi, with the woman giving the man an earphone to listen music to. The camera then cuts to Calum watching a couple dance in a spotlight. The scene briefly shifts to a clip taken from over the park, then returns to the couple dancing. Calum is later seen walking towards a man smiling with the spotlight following a girl running behind Calum. The two reunite and kiss as Calum walks beside them. Calum ends the song while looking at the camera and the video ends as he walks away.

Leona Lewis duet and other versions

Leona Lewis duet

On 9 February 2018, Scott released a duet version of the song with Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Leona Lewis. Scott remarked in a statement: "Working with Leona was a dream come true. As a fan, I first remember watching her on TV before going on to grace the globe with her incredibly beautiful voice. Now having the honour of working with her on one of my own songs is completely surreal and the passion and raw emotion she brings to our duet makes it even more special to me."[7]

The duet was promoted by Scott and Lewis, with performances on the BBC One's The One Show in the UK and Good Morning America in the US.[8][9] The duet charted on various Billboard charts in the US, and also charted in New Zealand, Canada and in Europe. The official video for the duet, which features both Scott and Lewis, has since surpassed 523 million views on YouTube and over 213 million streams on Spotify.[10]

In June 2019, "You Are The Reason" (with Leona Lewis) peaked at number 7 on the BillboardDigital Songs Sales chart. The song featured on America's Got Talent during the audition of Kodi Lee.[11][12] The song also peaked on the Hot Canadian Digital Songs Sales chart, at number 14, following the shows airing.[11]

Ed Sheeran duet

Ed Sheeran and Calum performed a version of the song on Sheeran's 2024 +–=÷× Tour.[13]

Other duets

Scott lanzó una versión de "You Are the Reason" con la cantante holandesa Ilse DeLange el 21 de mayo de 2018. Además, Scott lanzó una versión en francés de "You Are the Reason" con la cantante francesa Barbara Pravi el 1 de junio de 2018. [ 14 ] Pravi y Scott cantaron tanto en inglés como en francés. La letra en las secciones en francés de la canción no es una traducción fiel de la letra de las mismas secciones de la versión en inglés. Mientras que la letra en inglés describe las sensaciones que experimenta el cantante al reflexionar sobre el profundo significado de alguien en su vida, la letra en francés describe una relación turbulenta que el cantante considera que vale la pena salvar. Por ejemplo, la segunda parte del primer verso en inglés es:

Y ahí va mi mente acelerada Y tú eres la razón Que sigo respirando Ahora no tengo esperanza [ 15 ]

La letra en la misma sección de la versión francesa es:

Como los lueurs frágiles Du soleil à l'automne Mon coeur se défilent Défait de toi [ 16 ]

Traducido al inglés:

Como el tenue resplandor Del sol de otoño Mi corazón se escapa Deshazte de ti [ 17 ]
