Background

On January 3, 2020, the same day that Bieber released the lead single of Changes, "Yummy", TMZ reported through an article that Kehlani was one of the featured artists to appear on the album. [4] "Get Me" was released the same day that Bieber announced the album. [5] [6] [7] The song was also played on his docu-series, Justin Bieber: Seasons (2020).

Composition

"Get Me" is a mid-tempo pop and R&B love ballad that employs "nocturnal" moombahton beats and a "ha, ha, ha"-filled chorus. [1] [8] [9] [10] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is composed in 4
4 time and the key of C♯ minor with a tempo of 109 beats per minute. The verses follow a G♯m7–C♯m9–F♯m7 sequence. [11] Musically, the track encompasses "a soulful, stripped back sound" with sparse production that features Fender Rhodes washes, DJ scratches, and a simple bass-and-percussion bed occasionally enhanced by touches of electric piano. [12] [13] [14] Stereogum 's Tom Breihan wrote that the song draws from 1990s R&B and "Drake-style architectural moodiness". [14] Bieber and Kehlani's vocals, described as "soft" and "velvety" by Sara Delgado of Teen Vogue , share smooth tones and are pushed to the forefront of the track. [8] [10] The two go back and forth on the "smooth and sexy" duet, with Kehlani adding soulful harmonies and lead lines to the song, while Bieber contributes some vocal flourishes toward the end.
