"I Got What You Need" is a lyrical duo by Eve and Drag-On, produced by Swizz Beatz. The song is about being there for ladies anytime they need someone for support or more. They describe a club-like setting where they pay off security to get their men in, and if a man isn't treating a lady right, they got her back. With Swizz Beats behind the music, it's clear that the message is intended for the streets.
The song's lyrics describe a situation where Eve and Drag-On are noticing that some ladies are having a terrible time out in the club scene. Eve and Drag-On then offer to help, telling the women that they have what they need to feel better. To have a good time, they need to dance, drink, and meet someone right, and the artists vow to be that someone to give them a good time. The lyrics "Ladies, ladies, ladies" are repeated in the song to drive home the message.
The song was a massive commercially successful song, but the music video was somewhat controversial for its time, but also earned much criticism from people who found it misogynistic. It features a group of male and female strippers, where even the genders of the performers could have been confused. Still, fans of the track appreciated the '90s vibe and a catchy chorus, and the song remains a party playlist staple.
