"Get Busy" is a dancehall song by Jamaican reggae deejay Sean Paul, from his album Dutty Rock. The song was one of the many hits from the jumpy handclap riddim known as the Diwali Riddim, produced by then-newcomer Steven Marsden, and was the only song that never made the "Diwali" rhythm album on Greensleeves Records as it was more than likely a late entry.
Paul described it as "mainly a party song. It's not all about smoking weed". "Get Busy" topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in May 2003 and also reached number one in Italy and the Netherlands, becoming a top-10 hit in an additional 11 countries. On 10 May 2003, the song was performed on Saturday Night Live.[2]
