Matt Cameron wrote both the music and the words for "Get Right", a drummer's song on Riot Act, Pearl Jam's seventh album, released in 2002 through Epic. He plays drums and percussion on it too, while Eddie Vedder sings and joins Stone Gossard and Mike McCready on guitar, and Jeff Ament plays bass. Adam Kasper recorded it and co-produced with the band, Sam Hofstedt engineered with help from John Burton, and Brendan O'Brien mixed.

Riot Act came together after a year off following the Binaural tour, when the band regrouped at the start of 2002, and it's a restless record, drifting through folk, art rock and experimental rock, its lyrics preoccupied with mortality and shaded by the political mood after September 11 and the deaths of nine fans at Roskilde in 2000. It was also their last album of all-new material for Epic.
