"I Got Rhythm" is a song composed by George Gershwin with lyrics by Ira Gershwin and published in 1930, which became a jazz standard. Its chord progression, known as the "rhythm changes", is the foundation for many other popular jazz tunes such as Charlie Parker's and Dizzy Gillespie's Bebop standard "Anthropology.
The song came from the musical Girl Crazy which also includes two other hit songs, "Embraceable You" and "But Not For Me", and has been sung by many jazz singers since.

[NO]I Got Rhythm er en sang hvor musikken er skrevet av George Gershwin og teksten av Ira Gershwin. Sangen, utgitt i 1930, har for lengst blitt en jazz standard. Den var å finne første gang i musikalen «Girl Crazy», hvor også to andre kjente låt er hentet fra; «Embracable You» og «But Not For Me».
Hovedmotivet i «I Got Rhythm» bruker fire av de fem tonene i pentatonskalaen, og består av en synkopert rytme, som starter et slag forsinket i første takt. Sangens akkordprogresjon har blitt forbilde for mange sanger, nærmest sammenlignbart med 12-takters bluesskjema, og er kjent som «Rhythm changes». Gershwin brukte temaet igjen i sitt siste klassiske konsertstykke WVariations on I Got Rhythm» i 1934, for piano solo og orkester. Sangen har blitt et ikon for Gershwinbrødrene, for swing, og for 1920-tallet.
