"You Got Lucky" is the first single from Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' album Long After Dark. The song peaked at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Billboard Top Tracks chart, where it stayed for three weeks at the end of 1982. Unusual for a signature Tom Petty song, guitars give up the spotlight to allow synths to carry the song's main structure.

The look of the official video echoes the postapocalyptic feature film Mad Max 2, released in 1981. The video adaptation was written by the band themselves.

The video begins with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell happening upon a black tent in the desert after riding in a hovercar (from the television series Logan's Run). They find a radio/cassette player wrapped in bubble wrap and play the tape, which begins the music of "You Got Lucky". The other band members, Howie Epstein, Benmont Tench, and Stan Lynch, arrive in a sidecar racing motorcycle.

Entering the tent, they turn on a bank of cobweb-covered switches that control power for music studio equipment as well as a bank of television sets which show the videos for Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' "Here Comes My Girl" and "A Woman In Love (It's Not Me)". A clip from the Galactica 1980 episode "Galactica Discovers Earth, Part I" playing on one of the televisions elicits a visceral reaction from Tom, possibly explaining the cause of the destruction in the video's universe. As they explore the tent, Mike finds a hollow body Gretsch 6120 guitar just in time to play the song's guitar solo. Howie hits a jackpot on a slot machine, causing coins to flow over his gloved hands. Tom overturns an Astro Invader arcade video game before they all ride away, leaving behind the cassette player.
