"'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.

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 ABCm in the verses and A7BCmCBG 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.

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, Mlaga, Spain.

Release history



Micky Modelle vs. Samantha Mumba version



Irish DJ Micky Modelle remixed the song and released it as a single in 2008 through All Around the World Productions. After Mumba heard the remix, she liked the song and re-recorded some of the vocals. She promoted the song on the Clubland Live Tour in 2008. This was the final single to be released from Mumba following her announcement of retiring from music in 2011.

Music video

A video for the song was filmed throughout London and Belfast in May 2008 and was premiered on 13 June 2008. The video features Micky and Mumba in a conference room with various clones of Mumba as various maps of cities in the UK moving around her, with the maps indicating that "Club energy levels are low".

Mumba and the clones of herself go out to the cities clubs where the people in the club start dancing and the club energy levels are restored.
