It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion
It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion
[Verse 1]
Down, down, down in your heart
Find, find, find the secret
Turn, turn, turn your head around
Baby we can do it, we can do it all right
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you believe in love at first sight?
It's an illusion, I don't care
Do you believe I can make you feel better?
Too much confusion, come on over here
[Chorus]
Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on, check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too
[Verse 2]
I searched, I searched, I searched my whole life
To find, find, find the secret
But all I did was open up my eyes
Baby we can do it, we can do it all right
Do you believe that we can change the future?
Do you believe I can make you feel better?
[Chorus]
Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on, check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too
Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on, check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too
[Refrain]
It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion
I'll make you feel better
If it's bitter at the start
Then it's sweeter in the end
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you believe in love at first sight?
It's an illusion, I don't care
Do you believe I can make you feel better?
Too much confusion, come on over here
Can we get together?
I really, I really wanna be with you
Come on, check it out with me
I hope you, I hope you feel the same way too
Can we get together?
I really wanna be with you
Come on, check it out with me
I hope you feel the same way too
[Refrain]
It's all an illusion
There's too much confusion
I'll make you feel better
If it's bitter at the start
Then it's sweeter in the end
About
After becoming the third most downloaded track from Confessions on a Dance Floor, “Get Together” was released as the album’s third single. The disco-influenced electronic song was inspired by Stardust’s 1998 song “Music Sounds Better With You”, sampled in the song.
The music video was shot during a live performance at KOKO club, in London. The footage was visually animated by artist Nathaniel Howe, who discussed the creative process in an interwiew with fansite Drowned Madonna:
During the initial phases of the video we focused on testing different looks in 3D to see how the color, environment and cinematography complemented the song. While this was happening the edit of the raw footage was being assembled. As the edit evolved we narrowed down the techniques and look of the worlds. Before we even had picture lock we were dropping in rendered 3D shots; this really allowed us to fine tune both the edit and the effects to work together with the song. As this progressed we regularly sent tests to Warner Bros. and the Madonna camp.
“Get Together” was nominated at the Grammy Awards in 2007 for Best Dance Recording.
