Get It est une chanson écrite par l'auteur-compositeur-interprète américain Stevie Wonder en 1987, chantée en duo avec Michael Jackson.

Diffusée sur son album Characters, elle sort en 1988 en guise de troisième single, atteignant la 4^e position du Billboard R&B Singles.

Contexte

Stevie Wonder et Michael Jackson collaborent depuis plusieurs années.

Dès 1974, Wonder écrit la chanson Buttercup pour les Jackson 5. Le titre ne sera finalement pas diffusé mais réapparait en 2009 sur la compilation I Want You Back! Unreleased Masters, diffusé à la mort de Michael Jackson^[1].

La même année, Michael Jackson et ses frères participent aux chœurs du single You Haven't Done Nothin' issu de l'album Fullfillingness' First Finale de Wonder. Ils se retrouvent en 1979 sur I Can't Help It, présent sur l'album Off the Wall de Jackson, titre écrit par Wonder et Susaye Greene (en), une ancienne membre des Supremes. L'année suivante, Michael Jackson participe aux chœurs de All I Do, sur l'album Hotter than July. Ils participent encore ensemble à la reprise de State of Independence par Donna Summer en 1982^[2] et à la chanson We Are the World, coécrite par Jackson, singles tous deux produits par Quincy Jones^[3].

En 1987, Wonder et Jackson sortent respectivement leurs albums Characters et Bad, ce dernier contenant Just Good Friends, leur premier duo officiel. La chanson Get It constitue leur second duo et premier single en duo. Produit par Wonder, Quincy Jones et Gary Olazabal, il sort en single le 5 mai 1988 chez Motown^[4].
