Background and writing edit

Craig states that he wrote "I Got You" while on tour with Keith Urban, hoping to persuade Urban to record the song; however, upon recording the demo version of the song, Morgan decided that the song was a perfect fit for his own style, and that he should record it instead of Urban.[1][2]

Music video edit

The music video was directed by Wes Edwards and premiered in early 2006. It features Morgan and his band performing the song in a warehouse, while scenes of love and small-town life are projected on a screen behind him.
