gotta run
Casual departure announcement
Gotta run is a casual way of announcing departure, signaling that you need to leave immediately: Sorry, gotta run—I'm late for a meeting.
The phrase implies urgency or time pressure, though it's often just a polite exit line.
Sometimes shortened further to just gotta go.
