"Get on Up" is a song by American R&B group Jodeci recorded for their third album The Show, the After Party, the Hotel (1995). The song was released as the third and final single for the album in 1996. "Get on Up" contains the sample of the 1981 song from Quincy Jones featuring Toots Thielemans' "Velas". Produced by Mr. Dalvin, it is the only Jodeci single to date that was not produced or written by group leader DeVante Swing. It was also the last Jodeci single released in 18 years before the group returned in 2014 with the single "Nobody Wins".

In 1996, Jodeci performed this song when they guest starred in a season one episode of the UPN sitcom Moesha.
