"She's Got You" is a famous pop song written by Hank Cochran and was first recorded and released as a single by Patsy Cline in 1962. According to the Ellis Nassour Biography, "Honky Tonk Angel: The Intimate Story of Patsy Cline", writer Hank Cochran remembers calling Cline up telling her that he'd just written her next #1 hit. She told him to come over to her house with a bottle of liquor and play it on the guitar for her and friend Dottie West who was over visiting that afternoon. Cline was emotionally moved by its lyrics and loved the song so much that she learned it that night, calling up her manager and producer to sing it to them over the phone. At her next session, she recorded it. This was a rare instance, being as how Cline and her producer, Owen Bradley, often disagreed with each other's choice of material. This time, they both agreed they had a hit. "She's Got You" was written as Patsy Cline's follow-up single to her two previous big hits of the previous year, "I Fall to Pieces" and "Crazy." "She's Got You" was released on 30 January 1962 and immediately went to #1 on the Hot C&W Sides country chart and to #14 on the "Billboard" Hot 100. The song was very important to Cline's career as it marked her first hit single in the United Kingdom, where it reached #43. "She's Got You" later became classic and was one of the songs to help jumpstart Cline's career. The hit became so successful, it led to an appearance on American Bandstand with Dick Clark that February and led to Cline having her own show in Las Vegas in the following November. "She's Got You" was followed by a couple of other minor hits that year, including "Imagine That," "When I Get Thru' With You," "So Wrong," and "Strange." On 6 August 1962, Patsy Cline's third album "Sentimentally Yours" was released, featuring "She's Got You." Musically the song is an upbeat jazz-pop song with country overtones to support it.

"She's Got You" has been covered by numerous artists, such as LeAnn Rimes, Jimmy Buffett, Lee Ann Womack, Cat Power and Loretta Lynn. In 1979, the song became a #1 Country hit for Lynn, when her her tribute album to Cline called "I Remember Patsy" was released.

This song appeared in the fourth episode of Season 4 of the TV show Lost, Eggtown, as well as the third episode of Alias entitled "Reunion".
