"Get on the Bus" is a song by American recording group Destiny's Child featuring musician Timbaland. It was written by Timbaland and Missy Elliott and recorded by the band for the original motion picture soundtrack of Gregory Nava's romantic drama Why Do Fools Fall in Love (1998), featuring production by Timbaland and Elliott. As with other Timbaland productions that were crafted in the late 1990s, the single features some unorthodox parts, including the sounds of birds.
Released as the second single from the soundtrack album, "Get on the Bus" became a moderate commercial success throughout Europe, reaching the top 20 of the Dutch Singles Chart and UK Singles Chart. In the United States, it also received some minor airplay on urban radio, resulting in a number 63 charting on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. An accompanying music video for the track was directed by Earle Sebastian. The song was later featured on the international edition of Destiny's Child's second studio album The Writing's on the Wall and included in the set list of their 2001–2002 world tour.
