"'Du'" ("You") is a song by German musician Peter Maffay from his 1970 album 'Fr das Mdchen, das ich liebe'. It was his debut single as a solo artist.

The song was covered in 1986 by Dutch singer Andre Hazes as the title-track for his album 'Jij Bent Alles'. David Hasselhoff also covered the song in 1994, but failed to eclipse the success of both Maffay's (Germany #43, Switzerland #41) and his own hit "Looking for Freedom" (#1 in Germany and Switzerland). Both songs are on the album 'Looking for... the Best'.

A video clip from David Hasselhoff's cover was shown for comedic effect in the 2004 comedy, 'Eurotrip'.

Peter Maffay song You spend two full weeks on the South African music charts in the #1 position.
