"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. 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".[1] The song was a commercial success in Australia, reaching number five on the ARIA Singles Chart, and also peaked at number 19 in New Zealand. The song wasn't as successful worldwide, only managing to reach number 78 in Germany.
