Live performances

Top of the Pops

The song was also performed on Top of the Pops in 1992.[4] Previously, in 1991, they had performed "Playing with Knives" and "Such a Good Feeling" on the show and the following year they performed "Took My Love".

The Voice UK

Brown sung the song for a The Voice UK audition. Even though it brought many audience members to their feet,[5] none of the judges turned around even though will.i.am noted that the song had inspired part of the Black Eyed Peas song "Boom Boom Pow".[6][7] He said it was "one of [his] favourite songs and [he] never thought [he] would get to meet the person who sung it".[8] He elaborated:

Why is that important to me? Because we were recording Boom Boom Pow and we were coming up with a bridge part and I was like "Fergie, have you heard this song? You have to do it like this!" I played your song for the power on that section. I never thought I was going to meet you one day.[9]

The fact that Brown had not been selected made the audience and TV viewers furious, with one viewer branding it a "disgrace".[8]

Chart performance

The single peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart in October 1992,[10] #17 on the Irish Singles Chart,[11] #158 in on the Australian ARIA singles chart,[12] #3 on the Dutch Single Top 100 chart in January 1993,[13] #14 on the Belgian Ultratop (Flanders region) chart in February 1993,[14] and #47 on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1993.[15]

The single also reached #1 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart, and #1 on the Canadian dance chart.[16]

"I'm Gonna Get You" was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry, for UK sales exceeding 200,000 copies.[1]

Critical reception

Ned Raggett of AllMusic called the song a "noted smash, with great diva vocals from Angie Brown (one of her earliest star turns) and a simple but still sweeping string section reminiscent of disco's orchestrations at their best".[17]

Dave Audé version

Dave Audé with vocals by Jessica Sutta interpolated the song in 2015, writing and adding brand new verses. It charted at #1 on the Hot Dance Club Songs.[18]
