"Get Back (ASAP)" is a song recorded by Romanian singer

jazz accents, containing a saxophone in its instrumentation. Music critics were positive towards the recording, praising its catchiness, while also comparing it to its predecessor, "Mr. Saxobeat" (2010). "Get Back (ASAP)" also received an award in the Pop/Dance Song of the Year category at the 2012 Radio România Actualități Awards
.

Commercially, it was a modest success, reaching the top 20 of the charts in multiple countries. For promotion, an accompanying music video was shot by Iulian Moga in Bucharest, Romania, serving as a continuation for the visual of "Mr. Saxobeat". Uploaded on YouTube on 20 June 2011, it portrays Stan in a saloon bar escaping from two police men that try to arrest her. Another music video was filmed by Ciprian Strugariu for the Maanstudio remix version of the song.

Composition and reception

"Get Back (ASAP)" was recorded at the Maan Studio in

Pure Charts and portal Musique Radio noted similarities between the track and its predecessor, "Mr. Saxobeat" (2010).[2][3] The latter website praised the catchiness of the single, deeming its refrain "more effective" than that of its predecessor, and predicted the track's commercial success.[3] AllMusic's Celeste Rhoads called "Get Back (ASAP)" a "club sensation" along with "Lollipop (Param Pam Pam)" (2009) and "Mr. Saxobeat".[4] The song also received an award in the Pop/Dance Song of the Year category at the 2012 Radio România Actualități Awards.[5]

Commercial performance

The track entered the

UK Singles Chart at positions 56.[14]

Music videos

An accompanying music video for "Get Back (ASAP)" was uploaded onto

Ultra Music's YouTube channel on 20 June 2011.[15] The clip was shot by Iulian Moga at Castel Film in Bucharest, Romania, in one day.[16][17] Romanian rapper 1 Q Sapro, Marcel Prodan and Andrei Nemirschi have cameo appearances throughout the video.[16] Stan's label explained that the clip would act as a continuation of "Mr. Saxobeat", "The video continues with the escape of [...] Stan from the police men. To get rid of them, she enters a bar full with rowdy Mexicans that she entices with her music and charm".[16]

The video begins with Stan changing from the police outfit she ended up with in the "Mr. Saxobeat" video into a red dress in a dressing room.

Los 40 Principales cited the video for "Get Back (ASAP)" as one of the singer's best clips ever.[19] Hamard from Pure Charts wrote that the visual would appeal to males and deemed Stan as "sensual".[2]

Another music video for the Maanstudio remix version of the song was shot by Ciprian Strugariu and uploaded onto MediaPro Music's YouTube channel on 9 December 2011.[20][21] Andra Moga and Violeta Irimia were credited for styling and make-up, respectively.[21] The visual starts with angle shots of the singer lying on sand, followed by her walking on a field wearing a black dress. Subsequently, the singer poses in front of a stonewall and performs to the song sporting a transparent jacket and a black leotard. The last scenes show her on a swing, swimming while a sea storm takes place, and her posing in front of a body of water with a black bodysuit on.[20]
