"I Got You"
A blonde-haired woman with dark skin looks forward. Her right arm is angled and her hand clenched, which rests on her chin. She wears a silver bracelet on her right wrist. The background is grey, and above her are the words "Leona Lewis" in white capital letters, and below that "I Got You" in dark grey.

"I Got You" is a song recorded by English singer 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. The song is a pop and R&B ballad, whose instrumentation consists of guitars and synthesizers. It was released as the second and final single from Echo on 1 November 2009, by Syco Music and J Records.

"I Got You" garnered mixed reviews from music critics; some praised Lewis' vocal performance and likened it to the structure of her cover of Snow Patrol's "Run", while others criticized it for not being memorable. A moderate commercial success, it peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart, peaking within the top 40 in Austria, New Zealand, Slovakia and South Korea.

An accompanying music video for "I Got You" was filmed at Venice Beach in Los Angeles and directed by Dave Meyers. 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).
