"Get Sexy" features an [[Interpolation (popular music)|interpolation]] of [[Right Said Fred]]'s song "[[I'm Too Sexy]]", which was composed by Christopher Fairbrass, Richard Fairbrass, and Robert Manzoli. It samples the trademark lyric, "I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts", but replaces "for my shirt" with "in this club".<ref name="the sound"/> According to Digital Spy, in an interview with ''[[Teletext]]'', Buchanan revealed that inspiration for the song came "by accident", saying: "The producers were messing around going, 'I'm too sexy for the studio'. We were like, 'That sounds cool', and [the producer] said, 'You remember that Right Said Fred song?' We were like, 'Do you think we can do it?'

==Critical reception==
"Get Sexy" garnered mixed reviews from contemporary music critics. Caroline Sullivan of ''[[The Guardian]]'' described the song as a "grinding, fiercely catchy R&B number".<ref>{{cite news|last=Sullivan|first=Caroline|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/jul/24/sugababes-interview|title=Sugababes: 'We took our eye off the ball'|work=[[The Guardian]]|date=24 July 2009|access-date=16 May 2010|archive-date=28 February 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140228205329/http://www.theguardian.com/music/2009/jul/24/sugababes-interview|url-status=live}}</ref> David Balls of [[Digital Spy]] gave the song a four out of five star rating, saying: "'Get Sexy' is a dancefloor stomper that nestles somewhere between 'Boom Boom Pow' and '[[Bonkers (song)|Bonkers]]' in its blend of electropop, techno and R&B sounds. It may not be massively original, nor an instant classic to rival '[[About You Now]]' or '[[Push the Button (Sugababes song)|Push the Button]]', but with a Right Said Fred-sampling hook, a thundering chorus and plenty of attitude – most noticeably from Amelle – it returns Sugababes right to the forefront of the pop landscape.'<ref>{{cite news|last=Balls|first=David|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/a172217/sugababes-get-sexy.html|title=Sugababes: 'Get Sexy'|publisher=Digital Spy.

[...] [Amelle's 'silly boys' bit – which is brilliant, by the way – may have more than a passing acquaintance with '[[My Humps]]'.
