"Gotta Get Thru This" is the debut single of New Zealand-British singer Daniel Bedingfield. The song was released in November 2001 as the lead single from his debut studio album of the same name (2002). The track, along with some others, was recorded in Bedingfield's bedroom with his PC and a microphone, using the music software Reason.[2]

The single went to number one on the UK Singles Chart in both 2001 and 2002, making it one of Bedingfield's most successful singles on the chart.[3] Outside the United Kingdom, the single peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Canada and the United States. In the latter country, it received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance Recording but lost to "Days Go By" by Dirty Vegas. The single became Britain's sixteenth biggest-selling single of 2001 and has since been certified double platinum. Capital Xtra included the song on their list of "The Best Old-School Garage Anthems of All Time".[4]
