Song information

Sean Paul co-wrote the song with OneRepublic lead singer Ryan Tedder and Norwegian production duo Stargate. Production was also handled by Stargate.[3][4] Tedder originally wrote and recorded the song as a break-up song called "Not To Love You" (uploads of this version can be found on YouTube). However, when it was given to Sean Paul and Alexis Jordan, the song was changed into a love song. The "N" in "Not" was changed to a "G" to make the word "Got", thus creating its current title. Also, Paul wrote and recorded two new verses to replace Tedder's original first two verses, while Jordan sings Tedder's original chorus and third verse with different lyrics.

Music video

The video was filmed on 29 August 2011 at the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas and the Vanity Nightclub that is under the same ownership as the Hard Rock Cafe hotel. The music video was uploaded to YouTube on 15 September 2011 at a total length of three minutes and thirty-four seconds. It was directed by Ben Mor.[5][6] As of May 2020 the music video has over 362 Million Views.

gollark: Not directly, but it is important to understand that people often care about that sort of thing *anyway*.
gollark: My site is ad-free even though I could undoubtedly make an entire $0.10 off it if I monetized it.
gollark: > I dont and will never understand why people give enough of a shit about people being trans to actually go and complain online ectThe general thing is that some people/groups see some things people do as actively against their moral system in some way. You should probably be able to understand that.
gollark: If people kept mixing them up, it would *basically* destroy civilization. Nobody would be able to tell exactly how much storage their drive had and drive manufacturers would ship them with slightly less capacity than they should have. It would be *anarchy*.
gollark: It should be TiB then, and it would be 256GiB. Correct unit prefixes are important!
