"You Got Me" is a Grammy award-winning 1999 song by hip-hop band The Roots, featuring vocals by Erykah Badu (who sings the chorus) and Eve (who raps the second verse). The track was released from the successful "Things Fall Apart" album. The song was produced by the band's then-keyboardist, Scott Storch.

"You Got Me" was co-written by musician Jill Scott, who recorded vocals for the song's chorus and bridge. Her part was subsequently re-recorded by Erykah Badu at the insistence of MCA, who wanted a higher profile collaboration for the album's official lead single (at the time, Scott was relatively unknown outside of Philadelphia). When the group later went on tour, Scott joined them during performances of the song.

The song garnered a Grammy Award to The Roots and Badu for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2000.
