"Got to Be Real" is a groundbreaking disco song by Cheryl Lynn, released as her debut single on August 14, 1978, from her self-titled debut studio album. The song was written by Lynn, David Paich (known for his work with Toto), and David Foster (renowned producer who worked with Whitney Houston, Céline Dion, and Michael Bublé). The track's signature sound combines funk-driven bass lines, dynamic horn arrangements, and Lynn's powerful four-octave vocal range.
