"Got Me" is a song released by American record label Dreamville, performed by American singer Ari Lennox and American rapper Omen featuring fellow American singer Ty Dolla $ign and fellow American rapper Dreezy.[2] It was released on June 12, 2019 alongside "Down Bad" as the second singles from the label's third compilation album, Revenge of the Dreamers III (2019).

Background

Under the EP 1-888-88-DREAM, the single was released with "Down Bad" on Wednesday, June 12. The EP’s title is referencing the “1-888-88-DREAM” phone number that Cole used to announce the original Revenge of the Dreamers in 2014.[3] Dreamville representatives used hotline phone number to talk to fans and also play some exclusive tracks from the label's compilation album.[2]

Composition

The song is produced by Deputy, OZ, and MD Beatz. It contains a sample of "Come Over" by Faith Evans from her debut studio album Faith.[4][5][6] Although being uncredited, Ari Lennox said Deante' Hitchcock, Vincent Berry, and Yung Baby Tate helped write her verse for the song.[7]

Critical reception

Erika Marie of HotNewHipHop called the song a "sultry R&B jam" and said it "is a song that you can dedicate to that special somebody or groove to when you're cruising around on a hot summer night." The writer continued to mention that it is a nice balance and shows that Revenge of The Dreamers is cooking up an album that will have a little something for everyone."[8]
