Background and release

On December 14, 2023, Twice announced they would release a single titled "I Got You" on February 2, 2024.[1] On January 3, 2024, it was revealed that "I Got You" serves as a pre-release single for the group's thirteenth EP, With You-th, scheduled for release on February 23.[2] The single and its accompanying music video were released on February 2.[3][4][5] A remix collection titled "I Got You" (Voyage version), including a version featuring Lauv, was released on February 5.[6]

Music and lyrics

"I Got You" is a synth-pop song[4] written by Jonah Marais, Daniel Seavey, David Wilson, Jake Torrey and Lexxi Saal. Billboard's Gil Kaufman described the song as featuring a "bubbly new wave-style beat reminiscent of a double-time homage to A-Ha's 1985 classic 'Take On Me'".[3] In terms of musical notation, the song was composed in the key of G-sharp major and has a tempo of 176 beats per minute.[7]

According to JYP Entertainment, the song depicts the group's friendship and love, with the message of "even during difficult situations, I was always happy because of 'you' and we will overcome those hardships 'together' as always".[8]

Music video

The accompanying music video was partially filmed on location in Geoje and Busan.[9] It depicts the group's journey through turbulent seas, symbolizing unity amidst challenges. They express unwavering support for each other with lyrics like, "No matter what, you got me, I got you. We'll make it through, just like we always do."[4] Later, it showcase the group's "cuddle puddle" as the waves turn placid and they are led to shore by a bandmate in a lighthouse, where they start dancing by the beach. The rest of the video is filled with scenes of the band members dancing, holding hands in golden fields, and making promises with "pinkie swears", in line with the lyrics "No we'll never fall apart/ Even million miles apart/ We were lightning from the start". The video includes an animated section where they playfully dive under the waves to interact with marine life. The video ends with the singers striking Titanic-like poses on the ship's bow, enjoying the sunlight.[3]
