"Gotta Tell You" is the debut single of Irish singer Samantha Mumba, released in 2000. The song was written and produced by the Swedish team Bag & Arnthor (Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson), with Mumba co-writing. It 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.

Composition[]

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 A♭7–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 E♭3 to B♭4.[1]

Music video[]

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 city of Fuengirola, Málaga, Spain.
