It was released in December 1992 as the first single from his debut album The Skills Dat Pay Da Bills. Creation of the songPositive K has stated that the song is about a man's desire to engage romantically with a woman he meets on the street. Although the woman is already in a relationship, the man refuses to consider this relevant to his pursuit. She continues to reject him and persists in explaining her satisfaction with her current relationship. He further suggests that he is not interested in a committed relationship or plying her with gifts; rather he is in favor of physical pleasures they can experience together. She rebukes him and remarks that she prefers what she has. In creating of the song itself the rapper himself provided not only the male vocals but also the female vocals [1] by raising the pitch of his voice using studio technology.[2] ReleaseThe single peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 on the chart week of March 20, 1993, making it the rapper's only Top 40 hit. It sold over 500,000 copies and was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[3][4] Music videoThere were two music videos for "I Got a Man". The first version was directed by Hype Williams,[5] while the second version was directed by Jeff Byrd.[6] SamplesThe music samples the following:
