The video was a simple one which involved both Will and Gareth standing on a black set with microphones.

   November 2002 saw Will Young release the years official Children In Need single to help raise funds for disadvantaged children in the UK. The single chosen was From Now On album track You And I and a new recording Don't Let Me Down. Don't Let Me Down was co-written by Will himself. There were high hopes for the single when released as Will was looking for his fourth consecutive number one whilst being able to make as much money as possible for charity with the single. Unfortunately the single narrowly missed the number one spot which went to Christina Aguilera and her new single Dirty. This was not a bad result for a reality TV star who previously in the year ahd managed three number one singles and a number one album. The video for You And I saw Will acting all moody in a studio appartment whilst the video for Don't Let Me Down was live footage from his tour. You and I was the last single release from Wll's debut album.
