"You Gotta Be" is a song recorded by the British pop and soul singer Des'ree. It was the first single from her second album "I Ain't Movin".

It was released several times in the UK: first in 1994, then in 1995, and in 1999 in a remixed version following the success of Des'ree's previous singles "Life" and "Kissing You". The latter release of "You Gotta Be" charted in its highest position out of all three releases in the UK, peaking at #10. The 1995 release peaked at #5 in the United States and is the most popular version of the song. The song remained in the ARC Weekly Top 40 for 26 weeks, which was a feat at the time (see List of ARC Weekly Top 40 chart achievements and trivia). The remixed version of the song was released in 1998 in Spain, and went to #1 there.

In Italy, the song became popular after it was chosen as the soundtrack of some TV adverts, including those of Breil in 1996 and Ford Focus of 2000. [Elia Habib, "Muz hit. tubes", p. 431 (ISBN 2-9518832-0-X)] In Australia, circa early 2000s, this song was used in a Westpac bank advert.

The music video is filmed in black and white. In 1995, it was nominated in the category of "Best Female Video" at the MTV Video Music Awards, but did not win.
