"I Gotcha" is the second single from Lupe Fiasco's debut album, Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor. The song was produced by Pharrell Williams, who sings minor vocals, but is uncredited. A video is shot for the song which was featured on MTV's show, "Making the Video". The video was mostly shot in front of a green screen and Pharrell Williams and many of Lupe's friends made cameo appearances in the video, and so did his sister.

The line 'Banksy's attack/Helicopter with the bow tie' refers to the London-based political graffiti artist, Banksy.

Despite the top thirty success of Lupe's previous two singles in the UK, "I Gotcha" peaked at a lowly #140 on physical release and remains his smallest hit to date.

The song also featured on CW drama One Tree Hill.
