"Get Back Up" is a song by American hip hop recording artist T.I., released on October 29, 2010, as the fifth single from his seventh studio album No Mercy (2010). The song, produced by production team The Neptunes, features vocals from American R&B singer Chris Brown.
Andy Kellman of AllMusic highlighted it. Brad Wete wrote a more mixed review: "On Get Back Up, he arrogantly apologizes for being human rather than for his crimes. That crown must be getting heavy." The Guardian panned the song for its scandalous nature: "One of the less likable tracks on this consistently misfiring album, which was recorded while T.I. was under house arrest for weapons charges (he's currently back in the slammer for probation violation), is Get Back Up. It claims the Atlanta MC is sorry for his misdeeds – but not that sorry – and finishes by painting him as the real victim ("As soon as you fall down, all the haters pass judgment"). The icing on the cake is provided by the equally tarnished Chris Brown, who sings the chorus: "When they push you down, you gotta get back up." Nice."
The music video was released on November 3, 2010, directed by Chris Robinson.
On November 11, 2010, "Get Back Up" debuted at number 70 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
