"I Got You" is a electronica song^[1] written in the key of A minor in common time with a tempo of 98 beats per minute. Most of the song follows a chord progression of Am-C-F-G-Am. The bridge follows a sequence of F-C-G-F-C-G-Dm-Em-F.^[3]

Music video

The video is directed by Dave Meyers. Rexha filmed a music video for the song, but it was scrapped due to its explicit content. She told a radio DJ, "It was actually too sexual so I had to get rid of it. It was too much," explaining further, "I have young fans. I like to be sexy 'cause I'm a woman now, but I still want to be a good role model."^[4] Rexha later filmed another version for the song in a desert setting.^[5] The music video directed by Dave Meyers debuted on January 6, 2017, on Rexha's YouTube account and has since reached over 300 million views.^[6][7][8] The outfits she wore in the music video were compared to those of Kylie Jenner by Billboard.^[9]
