"Got to Have Your Love" is a song by American old school hip hop/electro funk group Mantronix, featuring vocals from American recording artist Wondress. It was written by band members Bryce Wilson and Kurtis Mantronik along with Johnny D. Rodriguez, and produced by Mantronix.
The song was released by Capitol Records in December 1989 as the lead single from Mantronix's fourth studio album This Should Move Ya (1990). It reached number four in the United Kingdom. It is recognised as the group's signature song.
"Got to Have Your Love" was written by Mantronix members Bryce Wilson and Kurtis Mantronik, alongside Johnny D. Rodriguez. Mantronik stated that "When I did 'Got to Have Your Love', I did it for a reason. I did it because I wanted to get a song on the radio."
In 2001, English-Irish pop R&B group Liberty X recorded "Got to Have Your Love" for their debut studio album Thinking It Over (2002). It was one of three tracks to be recorded for the British version of the album, as it did not feature on the original edition, To Those Who Wait.
The song was released worldwide on 9 September 2002 as the fourth single from the album and hit a peak of number two on the UK Singles Chart in its first week, falling just behind Atomic Kitten's "The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling)". It also charted at number eight in Ireland and number ten in France.
