Background

The instrumental for "I Get It In" was originally created for use by Eminem; Dr. Dre, the track's producer, gave it to Eminem during studio sessions in 2008. According to 50 Cent, the track came into his possession after finding it on one of Eminem's personal computers (whilst visiting Eminem's home city of Detroit to record music) and deciding he wanted to keep it for himself; he promptly began writing lyrics to the track. Eminem was impressed with the results and gave 50 Cent his blessing to keep the track for himself, reportedly telling 50 Cent "You gotta keep that for yourself. This is too crazy".^[1]

The unmixed version was leaked by Hot 97's Funkmaster Flex on January 5. The mix version was originally posted for a January 12 release date but was delayed to January 15 for unknown reason. The single was first released to 50 Cent's official personal internet community.^[2] The song was officially released to online music stores on February 10, 2009. The single was released online one week after his single "Crack a Bottle" with Eminem and Dr. Dre. Aftermath Entertainment collaborator Dawaun Parker has stated that he is also featured on the song.^[3] The song contains a sample of Alexander O'Neal's 1985 hit "Saturday Love".
