"Getting to the Point" is a song by the rock group Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) from their 1986 album Balance of Power.

The lyrics reflect Lynne's feeling trapped by the "ELO machine" at the time.

[2] Lynne described how he came up with the lyrics:I'd been working on another song which I couldn't get right at all, and it was driving me mad.

There was also a UK 12 inch Epic 3 track version with the "ELO Megamix" on the B-side.

The mix featured the songs from A New World Record, Out of the Blue, Discovery, Time and Balance of Power.
