Get 'Em Girls is the second studio album by Australian recording artist Jessica Mauboy, released on 24 August 2010 by SRC Records and Universal Republic Records. Mauboy recorded the album in Los Angeles, New York City and Atlanta. She worked with various American songwriters and producers she had not worked with before, including Bangladesh, Harvey Mason Jr., Chuck Harmony, Brian Kennedy, and Alex James, among others. Musically, Get 'Em Girls contains up-tempo and ballad-oriented songs, which derive from the genres of pop, hip hop and R&B. The album features guest vocal appearances from Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Jay Sean, and Iyaz.
The album debuted at number six on the ARIA Albums Chart. Get 'Em Girls received mixed reviews from most critics, who were ambivalent towards its production. The album was preceded by the release of its Snoop Dogg-assisted lead single "Get 'Em Girls", which peaked within the top-twenty of the ARIA Singles Chart. The second single "Saturday Night", featuring Ludacris, became a top-ten hit and was certified double platinum for selling 140,000 copies. "What Happened to Us", a duet with Jay Sean, and "Inescapable", were released as the album's third and fourth singles, respectively. Mauboy promoted the album through live televised performances and served as a support act for Chris Brown's Australian F.A.M.E. Tour. Get 'Em Girls was re-released as a deluxe edition on 12 August 2011 and featured five additional songs, including the fifth single "Galaxy" (a duet with Stan Walker). In 2016, the album was certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association for shipments of 70,000 copies.
