"Get It Started" is a song by American recording artist Pitbull from his seventh studio album Global Warming.

The artists co-wrote the song with its producers, DJ Buddha, Sidney Samson, Marc Kinchen, Develop, with additional writing from Durrell "Tank" Babbs and Kris Stephens.

It is a dance-pop song that "blends a dance beat and up-tempo verses with a slowed-down, piano-driven pop chorus".

With the shutdown, Pitbull (and all other artists previously signed to these three labels) will release his future material on the RCA Records brand.

[10] Shakira provides the "heart-wrung hook" on "Get It Started", "emoting as the beat breaks off into a subtle stomp" before quickly "returning in full force seconds later".

[14] The music video was first released onto Pitbull's official VEVO channel on August 2, 2012 and was directed by David Rosseau.
