Songfacts®:

  • This is a duet between R&B/pop singer Iyaz and Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus. The song was featured in the October 3, 2010 episode of the Disney Channel show, in which the "Replay" singer made his acting debut. "I've been watching the show for a very long time, and finally got the opportunity to do a song with Miley," said Iyaz. "[The song] definitely has some edge to it. She did her thing and I put my little island twist on it."
  • "Gonna Get This" is late-stage Hannah Montana, one of the last songs released from the show. It was used in the show's fourth (and final) season, and included on that season's soundtrack album, Hannah Montana Forever. By this time, the crowds had died down a bit - the first two soundtrack albums went to #1, but Hannah Montana Forever stalled at #11.

    Miley Cyrus, though, was just getting started with her solo career. Her album Can't Be Tamed was released the same year (2010) and produced a hit with the title track. In 2013 she broke into the big leagues with her album BANGERZ and the hits "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball."

    As for Iyaz, he fell off the radar. He released an album in 2015, but it barely made a blip.
