"Get It Off" is a song by American recording artist Monica. It was written by rapper Missy Elliott, Craig Brockman, and Herbert Jordan, and produced by the former along with DJ Scratchator and Brockman for Monica's fourth studio album, After the Storm (2003). The song is built around a sample of "Set It Off" (1984) by American electro and old school hip hop group Strafe. Due to the inclusion of the sample, Steve Standard is also credited as a songwriter. The uptempo song incorporates elements of dance-pop, old-school hip hop and contemporary R&B music and features guest vocals by rapper Dirtbag.
The song was released as the album's second single on a double A-side single with "Knock Knock", also produced by Elliott. While "Get It Off" failed to chart within the US Billboard Hot 100, its That Kid Chris Remix, produced by Chris Staropoli, peaked at number 13 on the component Dance Club Songs chart. A portion of "Get It Off" was incorporated as a dance break into the music video for "Knock Knock", filmed by director Chris Robinson in Miami, Florida on in mid-late July 2003.
