"Now That You Got It" received mixed reviews from music critics. Mark Pytlik of Pitchfork Media stated that the song "surfs on a loping hip-hop beat and a staccato piano sample while Stefani splits wailing time with a chorus of alarms."[1] Charles Merwin of Stylus Magazine referred to it as Stefani's best "Beastie Boy imitation over a '1 Thing' rip",[2] and Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine called it "instantly contagious".[3] Alex Miller of the NME, however, characterized it as "a track so desperate to be a club banger, its fraying tapestry of hand-claps, sirens and triumphalism has all the grace of a Pepsi Max advert."[4] John Murphy of musicOMH wrote that "when the self-consciously wacky and kitsch side to her personality surfaces, as on the inane 'Now That You Got It', the temptation is to dive for the 'off' switch."[5] Fraser McAlpine of the BBC Chart Blog conveyed it as a "perfect case" of Stefani "making songs which are all strident and sleek and modern and shiny and brassy and tough on the outside, but which have a delicate core in the middle which is pure and vulnerable and nervous and a little timid", rating it four out of five stars.[6] Similarly, CBBC's Newsround portrayed the sound as "a very laid back, summery tune" which, it claims, will still have its readers "humming it next week".[7]

Chart performance [link]

"Now That You Got It" was commercially unsuccessful on mainstream charts. The song did not enter any of the US Billboard charts, being Stefani's first solo song to do so. Internationally, it reached number seventeen in Norway, number twenty-one in New Zealand, number twenty-six in Italy, number thirty-seven in Australia, and number fifty-nine in the United Kingdom. The single became Stefani's third UK release not to reach the top twenty of the singles chart and to date is her lowest-selling solo single.

The song's music video was directed by The Saline Project and was shot in Puerto Rico and Jamaica.[8] The video premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on September 4, 2007.

The video opens up on a mountain with titles "Gwen Stefani Presents", "Now That You Got It" and "featuring Damian Jr. Gong Marley". Stefani is singing against a wall with Marley and later Stefani and the Harajuku Girls are riding along the road with scooters singing the first verse. The chorus begins and Stefani, Harajuku Girls and Marley and playing board games under a shelter near the lake side. Marley then begins to sing his part near two sheds while Stefani and Harajuku Girls are still on their scooters. During the second verse, Stefani sings against another girl and shows the Harajuku Girls singing on roof tops with the male dancers from The Sweet Escape Tour (Flea, Legacy, Remedy, and Steelo). During the second chorus, the video opens at the beach where Stefani is SMSing. This leads the video to a party at night time where Stefani is on stage with people dancing. The video concludes with Harajuku Girls and the boys on the roof, Stefani and the girls singing on the scooters.

You Got It

"You Got It" is a song from Roy Orbison's album, Mystery Girl (1989). The song reached No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the adult contemporary chart, returning Orbison to the Top 10 for the first time in 25 years. It also reached No. 3 on the UK Singles Chart in early 1989, posthumously released after Orbison's death of a heart attack on December 6, 1988. While "You Got It" was Orbison's last hit single in the U.S., the single, "I Drove All Night", made No. 7 on the UK charts in 1992. In addition, it was his only solo Top 10 hit on the Hot Country Songs charts, peaking at #7. 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.

Orbison gave his only public rendition of the hit at the Diamond Awards Festival in Antwerp, Belgium on November 19, 1988. This footage was incorporated into the song's music video. A 2014 version incorporated videos of rehearsal and practice sessions.

    Baby It's Me is a 1977 album released by American singer Diana Ross on the Motown label that peaked at #18 on the Billboard Top 200 and #7 on the R&B album chart. The album was produced by producer Richard Perry. The LP yielded one Top 40 hit, "Gettin' Ready for Love", reaching number 27 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Other charting singles released from the album include "You Got It" and "Your Love is so Good for Me," the latter receiving a Grammy nomination.

    Ross would continue to work with Perry including on her pairing with international vocalist, Julio Iglesias on their duet, "All of You" several years later.
