Songfacts®:

  • "Get It" features rapid-fire verses from Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliott while Kelly Rowland croons the hook. Busta told Billboard how the collaboration with the two other artists happened.

    "It came together organically, but the music set the tone for the direction I felt the song needed to go in. Missy did her verse at one point and sent it to me and I put the song together," he explained. "Kelly Rowland was with Bangladesh when she did her vocals. I got with Missy after the song was done so she could hear it and make an adjustment. She tried to make me go make an adjustment. I was like wait a minute, 'You're not busting my ass on my own record.'"

    Busta added: "It was interesting to use Kelly Rowland [on a loop] rather than sing traditionally. I don't think we ever heard Missy speed rap before. I just love what the music did."
