Background

Since debuting as a soloist in October 2015 with the successful extended plays I and Why as well as chart-topping digital singles "Rain" and "11:11", South Korean singer Kim Tae-yeon (known by her mononym Taeyeon) has risen to prominence and established herself as the country's most popular individual celebrity of 2016.[2] On February 14, 2017, Taeyeon's agency S.M. Entertainment announced that her first full-length studio album would be released in the end of February.[3] A day later, the agency released promotional photos and a short trailer of the music video for a new song titled "I Got Love", which was set to be the album's pre-released track.[4] [5]

Composition

"I Got Love" was described by S.M. Entertainment as an "urban R&B" song.[6] Meanwhile, Billboards Tamar Herman described it as a pop number with influences from trap and R&B.<ref name="bb2">Taeyeon Explores Her Sultry Side, Declares 'I Got Love': Watch.

Reception

Tamar Herman from Billboard opined that "I Got Love" helped showcase "a more mature side" of Taeyeon as its "atypical" musical styles focus more on Taeyeon's "impassioned performance and lyrics", as opposed to her "sentimental side" as showcased through previous releases including "I" and "11:11". The Stars Chester Chin were positive towards the song's experimental styles, writing that it "sheds light on a fierce and sassy pop star".[7]

"I Got Love" debuted at number 20 on the Gaon Digital Chart for the week ending March 4, 2017. Within its first week of release, the song sold 75,233 digital units and gained 1,071,722 streams through South Korean online music services.[8] [9] The following week, "I Got Love" dropped 51 positions and charted at number 71 on the Gaon Digital Chart,[10] accumulating 23,153 downloads and 905,873 streams.[11] [12] The song additionally debuted at number 9 on the Billboard World Digital Songs.
