"You Got It All" is a song recorded by American band the Jets. It was released on August 2, 1986 as the fourth single from their debut studio album The Jets (1985).

Background

In 1997, Britney Spears started to work on her debut album ...Baby One More Time.^[8] After meeting up with producer Eric Foster White in August, the singer got to know the original version of "You've Got It All" by the Jets and decided to record a cover of the song.^[8] Steve Lunt, Jive's A&R vice president at the time, revealed that when the label's CEO "heard [the track] in the A&R meeting, he said, 'OK, we've got something.' Up until that, it was in doubt."^[8] "You Got It All" was originally intended to be released on Spears' debut album as a bonus track, however, it was only released on certain international editions of Oops!... I Did It Again (2000).^[9]

Reception

A favorable review from CD Universe said, "The Jets' gem 'You've Got It All' shines brightly as ever with Britney's girlish allure. Take note, however, that Britney's not all bubbles—with an obvious influence from Mariah Carey, she glides quite ably through the key changes and delivers octave leaps and vibratos that should melt just about any heart, young or old."^[10]

Other cover versions

Filipino pop singer Arnee Hidalgo covered her version of the song in 2000.
Filipino acoustic band MYMP also covered their version of the song in 2005.
