"Embraceable You" is a popular jazz song, with music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin. The song was originally written in 1928 for an unpublished operetta named East Is West. It was eventually published in 1930 and included in the Broadway musical Girl Crazy where it was performed by Ginger Rogers in a song and dance routine choreographed by Fred Astaire.
Barbara Hannigan sung it in the Girl Crazy Suite on her new album Crazy Girl Crazy (2017). Billie Holiday's 1944 recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2005.
