Sebenarnya agak sayang kenapa single ini tidak terpilih jadi lead single album kedua Leona Lewis "Echo". "I Got You" punya segalanya.. dari segi musik dan lirik. Karena single ini ditulis oleh Max Martin, Savan Kotecha dan juga Arnthor Birgisson yang sekaligus jadi produser.
Single ini sudah direlease sejak 8 Des lalu, dan Music Videonya disutradarai oleh Dave Meyers yang sudah syuting sejak 21 Des di pantai Venice, California. Sebenarnya, gak ada yang salah dengan single ini.. dengan lirik mudah dicerna, beat yang asik apalagi dengan cirikhas Max Martin. Tapi bisa jadi karena sekarang udah beda 'musim' dimana electro dan dance music yang sedang merajalela seperti Lady GaGa, Ke$ha sehingga membuat nama Leona Lewis agak sedikit redup. Tapi kita berharap aja, semoga single dan juga album ini bisa mengangkat kembali nama Leona karena single ini juga berjaya di Chart2 Radio di Indonesia dan Chart CreativeDisc minggu ini!
Lyrics:
A place to crash
I got you
No need to ask
I got you
Just get on the phone
I got you
Come and pick you up
If I have to
What's weird about it
Is we're right at the end
And mad about it
Just figured it out in my head
I'm proud to say
I got you
Go ahead and say goodbye
I'll be all right
Go ahead and make me cry
I'll be all right
And when you need a place
To run to
For better or worse
I got you
I got you
Yeah
Ain’t falling a part, or bitter
Let’s be bigger than that and remember
The cooling outdoor when you’re all alone
We’ll go on surviving
No drama, no need for a show
Just wanna say
I got you
Go ahead and say goodbye
I’ll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry
I’ll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better for worse
I got you
Go ahead and say goodbye (go ahead)
I’ll be alright (say goodbye)
Go ahead and make me cry
I’ll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better for worse
I got you
‘Cause this is love and life
And nothing we can both control
And if it don’t feel right
You’re not losing me by letting me know
Go ahead and say goodbye (say goodbye)
I’ll be alright
Go ahead and make me cry
I’ll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better for worse
I got you
Go ahead and say goodbye (go ahead)
I’ll be alright (say goodbye)
Go ahead and make me cry
I’ll be alright
And when you need a place to run to
For better for worse
I got you
A place to crash
I got you
No need to ask
I got you
