"I've Got to See You Again" is an original composition by Jesse Harris, the New York-based guitarist and songwriter whose work helped define the sound of Norah Jones's debut album Come Away with Me, released in 2002 on Blue Note Records. It is one of five Harris compositions featured on that album, alongside "Don't Know Why," "Shoot the Moon," "One Flight Down," and "The Long Day Is Over." The song is characterized by its lyrical, introspective quality, weaving complex emotions through a melody and harmonic framework that blend jazz sensibility with accessible pop structure. Harris's writing here reflects his broader artistic identity as a composer who moves fluidly between jazz, folk, and singer-songwriter traditions, crafting material that rewards both casual listening and closer musical attention. Harris also recorded the song himself, releasing his own versions in 2001 and 2019, the latter featuring collaborators including guitarist Bill Frisell and bassist Tony Scherr. These alternate recordings demonstrate the composition's flexibility, adapting naturally to different instrumental contexts while retaining its emotional core. Despite its inclusion on an album that sold over twenty million copies worldwide, "I've Got to See You Again" has not become a widely covered standard, remaining primarily associated with the original album and Harris's own discography rather than entering the broader performance repertoire.
