Get Blue is the fourth track on Louie Louie's second album Let's Get Started. The song was written by Prince (as Paisley Park) and Levi Seacer, Jr. and produced by Prince (as Paisley Park).

While specific recording dates are not known, initial tracking took place in November 1990 at Paisley Park Studios, Chanhassen, MN, USA (during the same set of sessions that produced Hey, Louie Louie, Well Done and a re-recording of And How). Louie Louie's vocal overdubs were recorded at Sideways Recording, Santa Ana, CA, USA, but recording dates are not known.

In 2010, co-writer Levi Seacer, Jr. released a mostly-instrumental version of the track with Ric Alexander on their album 2wo 4or 1ne (crediting Prince, rather than the pseudonym Paisley Park, as co-writer), but this version did not contain input by Prince.
