"I Got You" is a song performed by British singer and songwriter Leona Lewis for her second studio album, ''Echo'' (2009). It was written by Arnthor Birgisson, Max Martin and Savan Kotecha, with production helmed by Birgisson. It was recorded by Birgisson at Westlake Recording Studios, Los Angeles, CA and The Vault, Stockholm, Sweden, who was assisted by Lewis on the songs vocal production. It was released to United States Contemporary hit radio on 8 December 2009, and throughout Europe to download digitally on 19 February 2010. "I Got You" is a pop ballad, and instrumentation consists of guitars and synthesizers. The song garnered a mixed response from music critics. Peter Robinson for ''The Guardian'' wrote that "I Got You" "is an impressive distant relative of "Bleeding Love". Other critics praised Lewis' vocal performance and likened it to the structure of her cover of Snow Patrol's "Run". Despite this, some critics criticised the song for not being memorable. "I Got You" failed to achieve commercial success. It achieved a peak position of number three on the UK R&B Chart, number 14 on the UK Singles Chart, and peaked inside the top 50 singles Austria, Belgium, Germany and New Zealand. As part of promotion for the songs release as a single, an accompanying music video was shot at Venice Beach, California, and directed by Dave Meyers. The content of the video revolves around couples who try to resolve their differences and arguments. In the video, scenes of Lewis performing in front of a heart engulfed in flames and sitting on an apartment floor barefoot are intercut. In the United States, Lewis performed the song live on the ''Late Show with David Letterman'', whilst in the United Kingdom, she performed on multiple television shows, including ''So You Think You Can Dance'', ''The Alan Titchmarsh Show'' and ''The National Lottery Draws''. It was included on the set list of her debut tour, The Labyrinth (2010). ==Recording, production and release== "I Got You" was written by Arnthor Birgisson, Max Martin and Savan Kotecha for Lewis's second studio album, ''Echo'' (2009).〔 Production of the song was helmed by Birgisson.〔 It was recorded by Birgisson at Westlake Recording Studios, Los Angeles, CA and The Vault, Stockholm, Sweden.〔 Birgisson and Lewis both handled the vocal production.〔 It was mixed by Phil Tan at Soapbox Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, and Damien Lewis served as the assistant engineer.〔 Background vocals were sung by Vicky Sandström and guitar was provided by Esbjörn Öhrwall.〔 "Heartbeat" was co-written by Lewis, Birgisson and Ina Wroldsen, with production of the song once again helmed by Birgisson.〔 It was recorded by Chris Kasych at Chalice Studios, Los Angeles, CA, and The Vault in Stockholm, Sweden.〔 It was mixed by Manny Marroquin, Christian Plata and Erik Madrid at Larrabee Studios, Universal City, CA.〔 Strings were provided by Janson & Janson and the Czech National Symphony Orchestra, which were recorded by Marcus Bergqvist.〔 Guitar was provided by Esbjörn Öhrwall.〔 In the United States, "I Got You" was released to Contemporary hit radio on 8 December 2009.
