"Got to Get It" is the debut solo single of Sisqó from Dru Hill featuring Make It Hot. It is the first single from Sisqó's debut solo album, Unleash the Dragon. The single was fairly successful on the charts. It peaked at number 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 12 on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.
