"'U Got 2 Know'" is a 1992 song by Italian Eurodance music group Cappella. It was successful in clubs and was re-released in 1993. In 1994, it was included on the group's second album by the same name. The single was a top 10 hit in Ireland and the UK, peaking at number seven and number six. On the UK Dance Singles Chart, it peaked at number one. It contains an uncredited interpolation of "Happy House" (1980) by British rock band Siouxsie & The Banshees and an uncredited vocal sample of "You Used To Hold Me" (1987) by Ralphi Rosario & Xaviera Gold. Vocalist Anna Ross and rapper MC Fixx It (Ricardo Overman) were chosen by producer Bortolotti for live performances. Cappella was later sued by Siouxsie & The Banshees for failure to pay publishing royalties and lost.Price, Simon. "Kisses in the Dreamhouse". 'Melody Maker'. 8 August 1993. p. 41. "Happy House built on a naggingly eerie synth riff (recently stolen by Cappella's "U Got 2 Know)" In 2002, new remixes were released as "U Got 2 Know 2002".
Critical reception
John Bush from AllMusic viewed the song as a "continent-wide Hi-NRG hit". Music writer James Masterton said in his weekly UK chart commentary, "And not a Prince in sight either, despite the funny spellings. Cappella pop up out of Italy every so often to deliver to the charts a standard piece of Italia House, this one coming 4 years after the genre was trendy. Impressive." James Hamilton from 'Music Week's 'RM' Dance Update described it as a "Siouxsie 'Happy House' synth based surging Italo pounder".
