Upon expressing admiration for the Basement Jaxx's debut album Remedy, Janet Jackson contacted the duo to collaborate.[2] Jackson was offered the song for the album, though declined.[3][4] "She told us she loved our stuff," recalls Buxton, "but she thought we were Zero 7. We wished her every success in hooking up with a British dance duo eventually and said, 'Cheerio, Celine.'"[5]

"Get Me Off" debuted and peaked at number 22 on the

UK Singles Chart before falling to number 34 in its second week. The song spent a total of three weeks in the Top 75.[6] The song also reached the top 50 in Australia and Ireland.[7][8]
