The story behind

Only You, according to DoReSol

The song *Only You* by Chicago, with its 3:55 runtime, stands as a key piece within an album that marked a before and after for the band. Released in May 1984, this work became Chicago's most commercially successful to date, selling over 6.1 million copies in markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. The album generated four singles that reached the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the broadcast of its music videos on MTV significantly boosted its reception, earning a multi-platinum certification.

The production of this album was handled by David Foster, who also collaborated on previous works by the band. Recording engineering and mixing were done by Humberto Gatica. This record represented the last collaboration with original bassist and vocalist Peter Cetera. In 1985, the album was recognized with three Grammy Awards, consolidating its impact. The band, formed in 1967 and originally known as *Chicago Transit Authority*, stood out as one of the most representative formations of the Rock with Big Bands genre, maintaining a relatively stable lineup throughout its career.
