i gotta go vs I've gotta go

Both "I gotta go" and "I've gotta go" are commonly used informal expressions to indicate the speaker needs to leave. They are both correct and interchangeable in casual conversations. The contraction "I've" is more formal than the non-contracted form "I have," but in this context, both are acceptable.
