"I'm the One" is a song by Liverpudlian band Gerry and the Pacemakers, released as a single in January 1964.

[2][3] In 1963, Gerry and the Pacemakers became the first group to top the UK charts with their first three singles.

For their fourth single, they decided to release a song penned by lead singer Gerry Marsden.

However, it didn't manage to continue their chart-topping streak, as on all the major UK charts, it was held off the top by another Liverpudlian group, the Searchers with "Needles and Pins".

Whilst Gerry and the Pacemakers would only go on to achieve another two top-ten hits in the UK ("Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying" and "Ferry Cross the Mersey"), they did enjoy some success in North America as part of the British Invasion; although, in the US "I'm the One" did not perform particularly well, failing to make the Cash Box Top 100 and only peaking at number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100.
