Get Satisfied is the fifth track on George Clinton's second and final Paisley Park Records album Hey Man... Smell My Finger. The song was written by George Clinton, Clip Payne and Tracey "Treylewd" Lewis, and produced by Foley and George Clinton. Prince appears singing background vocals on the track, uncredited.
While specific recording dates are not known, album sessions took place between 1990-1992 at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, Minnesota. Prince began playing the track live in April 1993, suggesting that it may have been recorded later in the sessions, although it is possible that Prince's vocals were added to a pre-existing recording. It was included as the first track on a 1992 configuration of the album, which was changed significantly before release. The track was quoted in The Exodus Has Begun, which uses the line "like George said, get satisfied (let's get satisfied, let's get satisfied)".
