"I've Got You Under My Skin" is a song written by Cole Porter. It became a signature song for Frank Sinatra, and became a top 10 hit for The Four Seasons in 1966. It has also been recorded by Michael Bolton, Ella Fitzgerald, Diana Krall, Dinah Washington, Michael Bublé, James Darren, Cesare Siepi, Al Bowlly, Neneh Cherry, and many others.
Written in 1936, it was introduced in the Eleanor Powell MGM musical, Born to Dance in which it was performed by Virginia Bruce. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song that year.
Sinatra first sang the song on his weekly radio show in 1946, as the second part of a medley with "Easy to Love". He put his definitive stamp on the tune ten years later, in a swinging big-band version that built to successive crescendoes on the back of an arrangement by Nelson Riddle. He usually included the song in his concerts thereafter.
In 1993, Sinatra re-recorded "I've Got You Under My Skin" as a duet with Bono of U2, for inclusion on Sinatra's commercially very successful Duets album. It was also released as a B-side of U2's "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)" single.
Cole Porter's songs sometimes contained drug references (e.g.cocaine in "I get a kick out of you"). It is possible that "I've got you under my skin" is a double entendre reference to heroin addiction.
