"I Got You" is a song by the British power pop band Badfinger. Written by guitarist Joey Molland, the song appeared on the band's album Say No More.

Release

"I Got You" is the first track on Badfinger's 1981 album, Say No More. That same year, the song was released as the follow-up single to the band's previous Say No More single, "Hold On," backed with Tom Evans's "Rock 'N' Roll Contract",[1] However, unlike its predecessor—which had reached #56 in America—it failed to chart. A follow-up to "I Got You" ("Because I Love You") was released, but it was unsuccessful. After these singles, the band split into two separate bands under the Badfinger name until bassist Tom Evans committed suicide in 1983.
