"You Got It" is a song from American singer Roy Orbison's 22nd studio album, Mystery Girl (1989). The song was released posthumously on January 3, 1989, after Orbison's death from a heart attack on December 6, 1988. The song was issued with "The Only One" as the B-side and was later released with "Crying" (version with k.d. lang).{{cite magazine|title=New Singles|magazine=Music Week|page=36|date=December 24, 1988}}{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kBe-DgAAQBAJ|title=The Authorized Roy Orbison |last1=Orbison |first1=Roy |last2=Orbison |first2=Wesley |last3=Orbison |first3=Alex |last4=Slate |first4=Jeff |publisher=Center Street |year=2017 |isbn=9781478976547 |edition= Second |location=New York |page=246|oclc=1017566749}} The single reached number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, returning Orbison to the top 10 for the first time in 25 years.{{cite book|title=The Birth of Rock & Roll: Music in the 1950s Through the 1960s|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ze-cAAAAQBAJ&pg=PT156|date=December 1, 2012|publisher=Britannica Educational Publishing|isbn=978-1-61530-911-5|page=156}} "You Got It" also reached number three on the UK Singles Chart and entered the top five in 10 other countries. Although it is an Orbison solo single, Orbison's fellow Traveling Wilburys bandmates Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne co-wrote the song and played instruments on the record.

According to The Authorized Roy Orbison, the song was recorded at guitarist Mike Campbell's garage in Los Angeles, California, and mixed at George Harrison's residence Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames, England.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kBe-DgAAQBAJ|title=The Authorized Roy Orbison|last=Orbison Jr.|first=Roy|publisher=Center Street|others=Orbison, Wesley,, Orbison, Alex,, Slate, Jeff, Marcel|year=2017|isbn=9781478976547|edition= Second|location=New York|pages=216|oclc=1017566749}} Orbison gave his only public rendition of the hit at the Diamond Awards Festival in Antwerp, Belgium, on November 19, 1988, just 17 days before his death and before the single was released. This footage was incorporated into the song's music video.{{cite news|url=https://www.demorgen.be/tv-cultuur/roy-orbison-in-stadsschouwburg-eerder-fata-morgana-dan-virtuele-verrijzenis~bb86b0e3/|title=Roy Orbison in Stadsschouwburg: fata morgana rather than virtual resurrection|last=Wilri|first=Wim|date=April 26, 2018|work=DeMorgen|access-date=August 29, 2019}} A 2014 version incorporated videos of rehearsal and practice sessions.

Background

"You Got It" was written by Orbison and his Traveling Wilburys bandmates Jeff Lynne and Tom Petty. Their first songwriting collaboration, it was written during the Christmas season of 1987 and recorded in Mike Campbell's garage in Los Angeles, California, in April 1988. Lynne, Petty, former Beatle and fellow Wilbury George Harrison and Phil Jones provided other instrumentation and background vocals.{{Cite web|title=Jeff Lynne Song Database - Roy Orbison - You Got It song analysis|url=http://www.jefflynnesongs.com/yougotit/|access-date=December 29, 2020|website=Jefflynnesongs.com}} Harrison went uncredited on the track.

Cash Box said that it "showcases Orbison’s distinctive vocal charge—fluid, yet capable of creating excitement" and said "listen for the exotically melodic lift to the chorus".{{cite magazine|title=Stars on 45|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-Music/Cash-Box/80s/1989/CB-1989-01-21.pdf|magazine=Cash Box|date=January 21, 1989|accessdate=December 21, 2022|page=23}}
