review
Unlike other SPEED members who launched their solo career, Hitoe decided to further her studies after SPEED's disbanded in March 2000. "I Got You" is Hitoe's comeback single upon graduation from her studies in New York City. "I Got You" also serves as the simultaneous single for her 1st album "I'll Do It My Way", which is released on the same day. This catchy hip hop number has lyrics penned by Hitoe when she was sixteen and there is significant improvement in her vocal performance as compared to "INORI".

The coupling song "You Gotta Know Me To Love Me" is a sweet R&B ballad. You Gotta Know Me to Love Me" is included in "I'll Do It My Way" as an album version (Cobra's Groove Mix). I am wondering which version of "You Gotta Know Me To Love Me" is the original, as both version of the song are named like remix in this single and the album.

Hitoe choreographed the dance step for the pv of the title track. The cover art for this single is designed like a typical music magazine, which is rather refreshing. As usual Hitoe provided illustration for the single.

Overall, this single deliver quality beyond my expectation. Thus, this is a good single by a long missed artist.

recommending #1 I Got You, #3 You Gotta Know Me To Love Me (Cobra's Rasta Bass Mix)
rating 7/10 above average
