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 Trinidadian 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 passed on the collaboration due to thinking she could not bring anything unique and improve the song. Minaj had asked Doja's team to send her another song, but they never did.[12][13]
Critical reception
"Get Into It (Yuh)" received acclaim upon release, reviewers often comparing it to Nicki Minaj’s work[14] and Playboi Carti.[15][16] Consequence described the track as "swaggering",[17] while Clash dubbed it "playful".[15] DIY cites the track as a "vibe-heavy" highlight, complimenting Doja Cat's "fiery rapping style".[14] Sputnikmusic was less positive, dubbing the song's production as an "excuse for grating repetitiousness".[18]
Charli XCX named "Get Into It (Yuh)" the song of the year that "absolutely no one [would] top [...] in 2021".[19]
Commercial performance
"Get Into It (Yuh)" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 93 in the week of July 10, 2021.[24] A dance—choreographed by David Vu on TikTok,[25] uploaded in late July—fueled a boost in streaming, causing the track to re-enter the chart at 75 roughly two months later on the week of August 28, 2021.[26] In addition to its success in the United States, the track has also reached the top 40 in Canada and New Zealand.[27]
