"You Had Me" is a song by English singer and songwriter

47th Grammy Awards in 2005 but lost out to "Sunrise" by Norah Jones.[1]

Recording

Coachella Festival

"You Had Me" was recorded in New York City on the afternoon of 14 August 2003, with

Great Blackout of 2003,[2][3] which affected the Northeastern and the Midwestern United States, as well as the Canadian province of Ontario. Steve Greenberg
, who also co-produced the track, stated:

They played the song live in the studio for nearly fifteen minutes—it just kept going and going because the vibe was so exciting. Finally, the musicians finished this incredible take—which we knew was the keeper—and we pushed the 'Save' button on the computer. Literally two seconds after that button was pushed, the lights went out in the studio. Betty Wright said, 'You guys funked so hard, you blew the lights out!' Little did we know that we were in the middle of the Great Eastern Blackout of 2003. If the band had played for even another 30 seconds, we wouldn't have been able to hit the 'Save' button—and this magical take would have been lost forever![4]

Commercial performance

"You Had Me" debuted and peaked at number nine on the

UK Singles Chart, becoming Stone's highest-peaking single on the chart to date. It also peaked at number two on the UK R&B Singles Chart.[5] The song was particularly successful in the Netherlands, reaching number four on the Dutch Top 40.[6] Elsewhere in Europe, it charted at number 14 in Hungary, number 15 in Italy, number 20 in Greece, and number 21 in Belgium.[7][8][9] "You Had Me" became Stone's first single to chart in Australia, where it peaked at number 23.[10]

Music video

The music video for "You Had Me" was directed by

Prince Street
station. Meanwhile, Anthony arrives at the flat and soon notices the note on the refrigerator; he looks upset as he reads it. Soon after Stone leaves the underground, the video shows her walking through the city. She rings up a friend on a payphone, asking if she could come to her house; the friend answers that she "could always come over." The video ends with Stone singing the song's final verse while dancing on the roof of her friend's block of flats.
