"Gotta Tell You" is the debut single by Irish singer Samantha Mumba, released in 2000. The song was written and produced by the Swedish team BAG & Arnthor (Anders Bagge and Arnthor Birgisson). It was an international hit, peaking at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 21 weeks on that chart, number one in Ireland and New Zealand, number three in Australia and number two in the UK. The song is Mumba's biggest hit, as well as her signature song.

Composition

Having a moderate tempo with 110 beats per minute, the song is written in the key of C minor and follows the chord progression of Ab–Bb–Cm in the verses and Ab7–Bb–Cm–C–Bb–G in the song's chorus, with the C major chord being a picardy third (or a borrowed chord), as it's a parallel key. Mumba's vocals span from Eb3 to Bb4.[1]

Music video

The music video shows Mumba walking, running and dancing around a city and running to catch a plane. It also includes Mumba doing minor stunts which include flipping off a building onto the street and jumping onto and off a moving firetruck. The video was shot in city of Fuengirola, Málaga, Spain.
