Release and reception

"I've Got You" received a boost in airplay on UK radio in early August 1999, and on 30 August, it was officially released as a single across three formats: two CD singles and a cassette single. [1] [2] Critically, British trade publication Music Week wrote that the song was not as good as Martine McCutcheon's previous single, "Perfect Moment", but noted its strong chorus. [3] British columnist James Masterton wrote that the track's chorus would "sound perfect on a Sheryl Crow b-side" but doubted the song's ability to appeal to a wide audience. [4]

On the week beginning 4 September 1999, "I've Got You" debuted at its peak of number six on the UK Singles Chart, giving McCutcheon her second top-10 hit in the UK, after "Perfect Moment". The song spent a total of 12 weeks in the UK top 100, making it her third-longest stay on the chart. [5] In Ireland, the single debuted on the Irish Singles Chart on 2 September 1999 and peaked at number 17, becoming McCutcheon's second of three top-20 hits on this chart, and remained in the top 30 for six weeks. [6] With its combined British and Irish sales, "I've Got You" debuted at number 30, its peak, on the Eurochart Hot 100 in mid-September and remained on the listing for five weeks, making its last appearance on 16 October 1999.
