"'What You Got'" is the second single by Grinspoon from their fifth studio album 'Alibis & Other Lies'. The song was co-written by Phil Jamieson and Matthew Strong (Custard), who is the bass player in Jamiesons side project, Lost Gospel. The single was only released in a digital format on iTunes.
Reception
Australian music website, The Dwarf, describes "What You Got" as being musically closer to "Hard Act to Follow" stating "It's short, sharp and 100% killer. Just how it should be."
Michael Olivotto of FasterLouder believes that the song "instantly wreaks of The Lost Gospel" and that whilst the song is good in its own right, it "stick(s) out from the rest of the album and would have been better left as B-side(s)s or for some other project."
SameSame's Nate C felt that ""What You Got" also sound(s) like the debauched rock and roll of vintage Grinners and is sure to appeal to the bands devoted and faithful.."
Video
The video was filmed in the school gymnasium of Viewbank College. It features the band playing in a gymnasium while the screen flashes to people in still life. The video was produced by Lacey Fitzgerald and directed by James Teh (Peace Charger Productions).
