"Get Sexy" is a song by English girl group Sugababes, taken from their seventh studio album, ''Sweet 7'' (2010). It was written by Fred Fairbrass, Richard Fairbrass, Rob Manzoli, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Bruno Mars and produced by the latter three under their stage name The Smeezingtons. The song was released on 30 August 2009 as the album's lead single. Musically, "Get Sexy" is an uptempo electropop song with influences of dance and techno. The song features an interpolation of Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy". It is the last single to feature founding member Keisha Buchanan. "Get Sexy" received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics; some reviewers criticised its lack of originality, while others praised its production and lyrics. The song peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and number three on the Irish Singles Chart. It also charted on the singles charts in Australia, Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Sweden and Turkey. The song's accompanying music video was directed by Emil Nava and features the group's members in a house of mirrors, a bird cage and a room covered in graffiti. The song was featured in the titles of the first series of Serbia's Next Top Model. ==Background and release== In April 2009, Sugababes travelled to the United States to work on their seventh studio album, ''Sweet 7''. In late April 2009, Sugababes signed a contract with Jay-Z's label, Roc Nation, resulting in working with high-profile produceers. "Get Sexy", which was selected as the album's lead single, was written by Fred Fairbrass, Richard Fairbrass, Rob Manzoli, Philip Lawrence, Ari Levine, Bruno Mars and produced by the latter three under their stage name The Smeezingtons. Working with The Smeezingtons was described by group member Amelle Berrabah as an "amazing" and "great opportunity".〔 Berrabah also stated in an interview with ''Bang Showbiz'' that the song "doesn't sound like anything we have ever done before". On 6 July 2009, Sugababes announced the release date of "Get Sexy" as 31 August 2009. The song premiered on BBC Radio 1 on 7 July 2009 in a show presented by Scott Mills.〔 In an interview for Digital Spy, Buchanan said that the response to the song was great, saying: "From the beginning there's been a real buzz about the track. It's had a great response from so many people, even if they say, 'Forget about the rest of them, this one I love'." Later, on 27 September 2013, Keisha Buchanan said of the Bruno Mars penned song that, "I just didn't feel like that was a representation of who we were as a band but we didn't, at that point, have a lot of say." However, "It was amazing working with Bruno, and we'd love to work with him in this line-up" "Get Sexy" was digitally released on 30 August 2009,〔 while the CD single was made available the following day.〔 During the single release interval between the release of "Get Sexy" and "About a Girl", Buchanan controversially left the group. As a result of the group line-up change, "Get Sexy" was re-recorded along with a number of other tracks to feature the vocals of new member Jade Ewen and the removal of the vocals by ex-member Buchanan for the release of ''Sweet 7'' in 2010.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Get Sexy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
