While unable to reach the worldwide chart highs of its predecessor, the single was a club hit, reaching No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart in January 1996, and a moderate commercial hit, reaching the top 10 in Finland and Sweden, and the top 20 in the UK. The track is considered a 1990s house classic.[1]
Background
"Got Myself Together" is a disco-inspired house track based around a prominent sample of Brass Construction's 1976 hit, "Movin'".[2] In Europe, the lead single version was a remix by British house group Hustlers Convention, an early alias of DJs Michael Gray and Jon Pearn, now known as Full Intention.
In April 2019, Positiva released a new remix by EJECA as part of its 25th anniversary series.[3] The remix gained heavy rotation from the likes of Annie Mac and Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1, and The Black Madonna.[4]
Critical reception
Charles Aaron from Spin said that, in comparison to "The Bomb!", the single "gets knee-deeper in jazzy acid-funk."[5]
Music video
Like its predecessor, the music video for "Got Myself Together" was directed by Guy Ritchie and Alex de Rakoff.[6] The video features a Londoner en route to Heathrow Airport, stopping at sights including Buckingham Palace and Piccadilly Circus, before arriving in New York in search of a disco club.
