Composition and lyrics


The lyrics in "I Got That" encourage women to become more independent.[3] A contributor for Spin wrote that the song focused on "statement[s] of simple financial and romantic independence",[16] and Sowmya Krishnamurthy of ABC News described it as "girl power-infused".[17]Music critics compared the song's sound and lyrics to music released by the group Destiny's Child.[12][16] The composition includes a sample from Gwen Guthrie's 1986 single "Seventh Heaven".[1] A writer for the Chicago Sun-Times described the single's instrumental as "danceable",[18] and a contributor for Knight Ridder interpreted Amil's verses as "girlish".[19]
