The song went on to win a number of awards around the world , including a 2000 Brit Awards for British Single of the Year and British Video of the Year in 2000 , and it also won a Capital Radio Award for Best Single . The song 's producer , Guy Chambers , used World Party 's touring band to perform the backing track for Williams , resulting in an identical sounding cover . World Party 's frontman and songwriter Karl Wallinger was not made aware that a soundalike cover was going to be released using his own band . When the song became a hit , Wallinger stated that he experienced " ongoing bitterness " , going on to state " The song had a much better time than me , popping off to the Brits while I was at home eating crackers dipped in water " . When introducing the song in live performances , Williams often claims it 's one of the best songs he 's ever written , despite not actually having written the song culminating in a telephone outburst from the song 's actual writer , Wallinger , to Chambers , stating " Your fucking friend Robbie Williams . Tell him from me that he 's a cunt " . Williams has never publicly acknowledged that She 's the One is a cover of a World Party track . Sasha Swift and Alex Thomas of Titles Mean Nothing suggest that Williams ' cover of She 's the One went on " boost and elevate " Williams ' post-Take That career , but had Williams acknowledged that his single was a cover of a World Party song , this would have substantially boosted the career of Wallinger too . " She 's the One " / " It 's Only Us " became Williams ' second number-one solo single in the United Kingdom , shipping over 490,000 copies and eventually receiving a Platinum certification by the British Phonographic Industry . The double A-side also reached the top three in New Zealand . " She 's the One " by itself reached number eight in Italy , number 13 in Finland , number 16 in Austria , and became a top 40 hit in several other European countries
