Composition and lyrics

A "squeaky swag" rap song featuring "glitchy", "twinkling" and "quirky" production influenced by dancehall and bubblegum,^{[2][3][4][5][6]} "Get into It (Yuh)" is a tribute to rapper Nicki Minaj, whom Doja Cat thanks directly for "paving the way for her polished pop-rap career" by saying "Thank you Nicki, I love you!" towards the end of the song.^[2][7][8][9] Throughout the song she borrows the unique rapid-fire flow Minaj commonly used in her early career and even interpolates the lyric "Got that big rocket launcher" from her 2010 debut single "Massive Attack".^[10][7][11] Shortly after the release of the song, Minaj revealed in a fan's Twitter Space conversation that Doja Cat had originally asked her to feature on the song, but Minaj passed on the collaboration due to thinking she could not bring anything unique and improve the song. She had asked Doja's team to send her another song, but they never did.^[12][13]
