"'You Met Your Match'" is a song written by Stevie Wonder, Lula Mae Hardaway, and Don Hunter that was released by Wonder on his 1968 album 'For Once in My Life'. It was also released as a single and reached No. 35 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 and No. 2 on the 'Billboard' R&B chart.
'Cash Box' said that it has a "pounding rhythm and a vocal performance that scours the emotions," calling the single an "exciting drive side." 'Billboard' called it a "pulsating rocker" and a "blockbuster." Wonder biographer Steve Lodder described the song as being "based around blues changes" but said that it "lacks an 'earworm' hook of a melodic line."
"You Met Your Match" was one of the first songs to use a clavinet in a popular music recording. It was the first song Wonder produced in the studio.
