"You Got Me" is a song by the 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 as a single from the band's fourth studio album, Things Fall Apart (1999).

"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 Badu at the insistence of MCA Records, 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. A fifty-seven-second excerpt of "You Got Me" would later appear on Scott's debut album Who Is Jill Scott? Words and Sounds Vol. 1 in 2000, entitled "The Roots (Interlude)".

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