lyrical content is characterised by love notions and prominently revolves around its main declaration, "It's gotta be you, only you". Critical reception Both USA Today writer Brian Mansfield, who appreciated the lyrical content, and PopMatters contributor Zachary Houle, who favoured the instrumentation, described "Gotta Be You" as one of Up All Night highlights.
