"You Got It (The Right Stuff)" is a song by American boy band New Kids on the Block, released in November 1988 by Columbia Records as the second single from the band's second album, Hangin' Tough (1988). The lead vocals were sung by Jordan Knight and Donnie Wahlberg. The song peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100. Outside of the United States, "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" topped the charts in Australia and the United Kingdom. On the album, it was simply listed as "The Right Stuff"; the change to the single was probably to avoid confusion with Vanessa Williams' debut hit "The Right Stuff", which charted earlier that year. A Spanish version of the song was made ("Autentica") and peaked at number 11 in Spain. "You Got It (The Right Stuff)" ranked as number 92 on VH1's "100 Greatest Songs of the '80s".
