| B-side = "Get It On with LL & Montell", "Once Upon a Time" "Get It On Tonite" is the lead single released from American singer turned pastor Montell Jordan's fourth album, Get It On...Tonite (1999). The song was originally performed by Derrick Dimitry, whose version was released in 1997 through the short-lived Freeworld Entertainment label. However, after the label shut down, the song was eventually given to Jordan. Produced by Brian "Lil Bee" Palmer and Sergio "PLX" Moore, the song utilises a sample of Claudja Barry's 1976 single "Love for the Sake of Love".

"Get It On Tonite" reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming his last solo single to chart on the Hot 100. It also spent three consecutive weeks at number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart and sold 800,000 copies domestically. A remix entitled "Get It On with LL and Montell", which features labelmate LL Cool J, was included on several formats of the single.

Samplings

In July 2012, "Get It On Tonite" was sampled on Harlem rapper Azealia Banks's first mixtape, Fantasea, on the penultimate track "Esta Noche". *Pitchfork Media'''s Marc Hogan praised the track, saying that "the best and penultimate cut on *Fantasea'', "Esta Noche", points in a promising new direction: conversational, cheater-luring pickup lines over a warmly inviting sample from Montell Jordan's 1999 R&B hit "Get It on Tonite". Critics praised producer Munchi's fusion of electronic dance music and R&B, with the track being named as a highlight of the tape.
