Content
"I Told You So" is a moderate-uptempo tune that talks about a man who has just met a lover with whom he recently split up. Upon encountering her, he begs for her to return, provided that she doesn't need to apologize for her own actions ("Please, just come back home / No, don't say that you're sorry / And I won't say 'I told you so'.").
Composition
The song features a Celtic influence,[1][2][3] partially due to the use of Uilleann pipes. Snare drums are also used heavily throughout, most notably between the second chorus and the bridge. According to the album's liner notes, Urban plays several instruments in the song, including the electric guitar, the acoustic guitar, the ganjo, the bouzouki, the mandolin, the slide guitar, and some percussion.[4] He also sings all of the vocals.
The radio edit features a shortened bridge, as well as a slightly truncated outro.

Critical reception
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song an A grade, saying that he "love[s] Urban's most recent album because he expands on his basic signature sound" and that it "doesn't hurt that the material is stronger" although the instrumental bridge is "like nothing [he's] ever heard before, on a country record or otherwise."[6]
