Background

On February 5, 2024, Red announced that she had given birth to her second child but was already waiting to get discharged in order to "hit da block" again.^[3] Only five weeks later, the rapper shared a clip of a new music video featuring an upcoming song that would later turn out to be "Get It Sexyy".^[4] Ahead of its release, the rapper asked fans to user "MySpace filters" to go along with the artwork of the release.^[5] A YouTube Short released alongside the song shows Red dancing in a stadium, inspired by Drake's and J. Cole's It's All a Blur Tour.^[6]

Composition

"Get It Sexyy" opens with an "undeniably hooky boast" before the rapper adds "layers of charmingly delivered background vocals" to boost the song's "immediacy".^[5] The "snap beat-inspired"^[6] track also features a "heavy, churning beat" by producer and long-time collaborator Tay Keith, who previously worked on her 2023 break-out hits "Pound Town" and "SkeeYee".^[7] The collaboration was seen as a "natural fit" as a blend between Keith's "loud and aggressive beats" and the "ratchetness" as well as the "sexually confident energy" of the rapper.^[8] "Get It Sexyy" samples and interpolates the 2009 single "Halle Berry (She's Fine)" by Hurricane Chris featuring Superstarr.^[2] The second verse of the song contains an interpolation of the chorus of Iggy Azalea’s 2019 single "Sally Walker",^[9] which in turn is an interpolation of the children's nursery rhyme, "Little Sally Walker".^[10]
