"Gett Off" is the lead single by Prince and the New Power Generation from the 1991 album Diamonds and Pearls. The song was a last-minute addition to the album, replacing "Horny Pony", which became the song's B-side (on the packaging for Diamonds And Pearls, "Horny Pony" is written in red over "Gett Off", to fit in with the narrative track listing.)

"Gett Off" is an evolution of many ideas, starting with the song "Glam Slam" from 1988's Lovesexy. Prince created an unreleased remix in early 1991 called "Glam Slam '91" which used the chorus to "Glam Slam" but with new music and lyrics that borrowed partially from Graffiti Bridge's "Love Machine". Prince toyed with the song some more, adding a new chorus and involving the newly formed New Power Generation. The song was renamed "Gett Off", which was ironically very similar to a B-side/remix called "Get Off" from the maxi-single release of "New Power Generation" (from Graffiti Bridge). "Gett Off" also uses a few musical segments from "Get Off". The new track features vocal contributions from Rosie Gaines and Tony M. and flute by long-time Prince associate Eric Leeds. Prince also adds a strong guitar solo. Prince delivered the song exclusively to nightclubs on his 33rd birthday. It was received so well that Prince added it as a last minute to Diamonds and Pearls. The song was released as a single with "Horny Pony" as it's B-side and also as an maxi-single with several remixes that varied from country to country.
