"You Were Meant for Me" is a song written by Steve Poltz and Jewel and performed by Jewel on her first album, Pieces of You. It relates the singer's incomprehension of a failed relationship and her inadequate attempts at moving on with her life.
"You Were Meant for Me" was released as the second single from Pieces of You and went on to receive a great deal of recognition. It became a hit and reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks, as well as number one on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for a single week. In 1997, a reissue of the single containing the unreleased "Foolish Games" allowed the song to rebound to number seven on the Hot 100, eventually totaling 65 weeks in the top 100, which at the time was a record. Worldwide, "You Were Meant for Me" experienced moderate success, reaching number three in Australia, number two in Canada and number 32 in the United Kingdom.
