Songfacts®:

  • Ciara explained this tongue-in-cheek track in an interview with The Boombox: "I have to be honest, I'm shy about this. In reality when I'm with my girls and sometimes we see a guy, and it doesn't mean that we mean this term literally, you just see a guy and you be like, 'ooh he can get it,'" she said of the song. "So, 'You Can Get It' is really fun and playful. I really love it. It's very melodic, it's just another one of those things that's real that I think we're all shy about. We would never publicly be like 'oh so and so could get it' but when we get with ourselves we are like, 'Girl, he is so fine, he can get it."
