"Gets Me Through" opens Down to Earth, Ozzy Osbourne's 2001 album, and served as its lead single, and it finds him setting the record straight: the menacing figure on stage, he insists, isn't the man himself, and what keeps him going is the devotion of the people who buy the tickets. He wrote it with producer Tim Palmer, who also mixed it with Mark Dearnley, and the band is heavy company, with Zakk Wylde's guitar grinding up front, Robert Trujillo on bass and Mike Bordin on drums.
It went to number two on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks and 18 in the UK, and in Metal Edge's 2001 Readers' Choice Awards it took Music Video of the Year and split Song of the Year with Slipknot's "Left Behind".
