"You've had it in you"

"All This Time"

You self destructive,
Little girl.
Pick yourself up,
Don't blame the world.
So you screwed up,
But you're gonna be okay.

Now call your boyfriend,
And apologize.
You pushed him pretty far
Away last night.
He really loves you,
You just don't always love yourself.

And all this time,
Ohh-oh, all this time,
You have had it in you,
You just sometimes need a push.
(La la la la la)
All this time,
Ohh-oh, all this time,
You have had it in you,
You just sometimes need a push.

(La la la la la)

Think all the mean girls,
That pulled your hair,
Are barefoot now,
And pregnant dear,
And you write pop songs,
And get to travel around the world.

And all this time,
Ohh-oh, all this time,
You have had it in you,
You just sometimes need a push.
(La la la la la)
And all this time,
Ohh-oh, all this time,
You have had it in you,
You just sometimes need a push.

(La la la la la)

So you've had some detours,
Some stupid men.
Now we know what not
To do again.
Besides you lucked out,
Finally.

And all this time (all this time)
Ohh-oh, all this time (all this time)
You have had it in you,
You just sometimes need a push.
(La la la la la)
And all this time (all this time)
Ohh-oh, all this time (all this time)
You have had it in you,
You just sometimes need a push.

(La la la la la)

All this time,
Oh, all this time,
You've had it in you,
You just sometimes need a push.
(La la la la la)
(All this time)
(All this time)
(La la la la la)

"You've had it in you,"


Nowadays, I am listening to this song and studying English with it and I was wondering here what "it" refers to as or is the sentence an idiom and then what does that mean? What you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.
