By July 1980 It Had Become The Biggest Selling Single In Australian History. "I Got You" Originated From A Series Of Songwriting Sessions With His Brother And Co-Frontman Tim In Which One Brother Would Name A Title And The Other Would Write A Song Around It. Tim Suggested The Title "I Got You" To Neil. Speaking To The New Zealand Herald In 2001 Neil Recalled "I Think Tim Came Up With The Title. We Were Sitting Around In Rose Bay Sydney Writing And I Remember Thinking The Chorus Was Kind Of Weak. But When We Rehearsed It It Felt Really Good Straight Away. Initially Neither Neil Nor Michael Gudinski Of Mushroom Records Believed The Song Would Become A Hit. Gudinski Believing None Of The Tracks On True Colours Had Hit Potential. The Guitar Riff At The Start Was Played By Neil. He Later Remarked "That Was The Only Riff I Knew How To Play At The Time. That Was Me Learning How To Play Electric Guitar."
