"'I've Got to Go Now'" is a song written by David Ricketts and Toni Childs and released as the first single from Childs' second album, 'House of Hope' (1991). The lyrics tell a tale of a woman leaving an abusive relationship. In a review of 'House of Hope', Tom Demalon of AllMusic said, "Childs dramatic vocals imbue the protagonist with willful, albeit fragile, resolve and a spirit that is moving".
The song was a commercial success in Australia, reaching number five on the ARIA Singles Chart, and it also peaked at number 19 in New Zealand. It has since gone gold in Australia for sales greater than 35,000 copies. The song was not as successful worldwide, only reaching number 78 in Germany.
