"Get Me Out" was King Stingray's second single, an early taste of the Australian band's self-titled 2022 debut album, and it was born homesick. Roy Kellaway, who wrote it with singer Jerome Gotjirringu Yunupingu and produced it, has said the pair came up with it while away on tour, missing their hometown of Yirrkala, until a sunset left them both feeling that everyone lives beneath one and the same sun.
Double J's Dan Condon pegged it as a slower burn than the band's first single, the group rumbling gently underneath while Yunupingu starts out reserved and then lets the full size of his voice loose. Dimathaya Burarrwanga adds background vocals. The song picked up a nomination for Independent Song of the Year at the 2022 AIR Awards and made the Song of the Year shortlist at that year's APRA Music Awards.
