"Gotta Tell You" is the debut single of Irish singer Samantha Mumba and the title track from her first studio album. The song was written and produced by the Swedish team Bag & Arnthor (Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson), with Mumba co-writing. "Gotta Tell You" was released on 2 June 2000 and became an international hit, peaking at number one in Ireland and New Zealand, number two in the United Kingdom, and number three in Australia. In the United States, it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100, spending 22 weeks on that chart. In 2001, the song won a Meteor Music Award for Best Selling Irish Single – Female Artist.[1]

Composition

[edit]

Having a moderate tempo with 110 beats per minute, the song is written in the key of C minor and follows the chord progression of A–B–Cm in the verses and A7–B–Cm–C–B–G in the song's chorus, with the C major chord being a picardy third (or a borrowed chord), as it is a parallel key. Mumba's vocals span from E3 to B4.[2]

Music video

[edit]

The music video shows Mumba walking, running and dancing around a city and running to catch a plane. It also includes Mumba doing minor stunts which include flipping off a building onto the street and jumping onto and off a moving firetruck. The video was shot in the city of Fuengirola, Málaga, Spain. In the United States, the video for "Gotta Tell You" first premiered on BET the week ending on 17 July 2000.[3] It later made its premiere on MTV weeks later on the week ending on 31 July 2000.[4]
