"You Give Me Something" was the second single from A Funk Odyssey, Jamiroquai's fifth studio album, released on Sony Soho Square in 2001. Jay Kay wrote it with guitarist Rob Harris and bassist Nick Fyffe, and the band lays down a slick funk groove: Fyffe on bass, Harris on guitar, Derrick McKenzie on drums and Toby Smith on keys, with Kay singing and co-producing alongside The Pope, who also mixed it.
It reached 16 on the UK Singles Chart and number 2 on Billboard's Hot Dance chart in the US, and it was the band's first single issued as a DVD single. Kay hated the video. His plan had been to shoot in Ibiza, then New York, but his flight on 11 September 2001 was cancelled, and the clip ended up being filmed in soggy London Docklands weather after, by his account, everyone from the label to management had meddled with his idea.
