The song reached number 18 on The Billboard Hot 100 in 1967.
The song was the group's fourth charting single of the year.
"Gettin' Together" is based on the opening bass riff of "Gimme Some Lovin'", a single by the Spencer Davis Group released in 1966.
However, the remainder of "Gettin' Together" continues in the pop-rock direction James began in his previous album, I Think We're Alone Now, under the tutelage and production of Ritchie Cordell and Bo Gentry.
[2] Jimmy Wisner arranged the music for the song.
