"You Had Me" is a soul–funk rock song written by English singer-songwriter Joss Stone, Francis White, Wendy Stoker, and Betty Wright for Stone's second studio album, Mind, Body & Soul (2004). It was released in September 2004 in the United Kingdom and November 2004 in the United States as the album's lead single.
The song was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, but lost out to Norah Jones's "Sunrise". It also appears on the British version of Now That's What I Call Music! 59.

[edit] Chart performance
"You Had Me" was the first song with a writing credit from Stone to be eligible to chart, and remains as her highest-peaking and -debuting single in the UK to date; it debuted and peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart the week of 26 September 2004, spending eight weeks altogether on the chart and eventually becoming the UK's one hundred and forty-ninth best-selling single of 2004 with 40,000 copies sold.[1] It saw similar success in the rest of Europe, where it reached number four in the Netherlands (the single's highest peak position), number fifteen in Italy, and number twenty-one in Belgium, having an altogether peak of number twenty-nine on the Euro 200. It was also Stone's first single to chart in Canada (number twenty-nine) and the United World Chart (number nineteen). However, like Stone's previous efforts, "You Had Me" did not chart on any U.S. Billboard chart, though it did manage to chart on the non-Billboard ARC Weekly Top 40 at number fifty-three.
[edit] Music video
The music video for the song, set in New York City, was directed by Chris Robinson and released in August 2004. It opens with a man (called Anthony) arriving at his flat and calling Joss's name. He suddenly takes notice of a note stuck on the refrigerator. Then, the video shows what had happened thirteen minutes earlier: Stone at the flat, sitting next to the window, anguishedly writing down things on a paper. During this scene, there are flashbacks showing that Anthony had been partying out with other girls in a sort of bar. He suddenly gets angry and overthrows a table, causing him to be expelled from the bar. The video comes back to Stone. After she left a notice stuck on the refrigerator, she packed her things and left. In the corridor, the lift taking Anthony back to the floor opens just a few seconds after she passes by. Stone then heads for the Prince Street Station. Meanwhile, Anthony arrives at the flat and soon takes notice of the note on the refrigerator; he seems upset as he reads it. Soon after Stone leaves the underground, the video shows her walking through the city. She calls 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 lines while dancing on the roof of her friend's block of flats.
