"Get Down (You're the One for Me)" is a song by American boy band Backstreet Boys. It was released on April 30, 1996 as the third single from their international self-titled debut album. It was later included on their U.S. debut album as well.

In some countries "Get Down" was released as their debut single. The song features a rap with the first verse by Smooth T. of the group Fun Factory, and the second by band member AJ McLean. When performed live, other than a few isolated cases in which Smooth T. was able to join the band, McLean raps alternate lyrics during Smooth T.'s verse. The alternate first rap verse was recorded for the song, and was used in the Markus Plastik Vocal Remix of the song is: "So get ready - ready for the flavor we are bringin' / It's time I set it off and get your body swingin' / When we're alone, girl, I wanna push up / Can I get it? (yeah!) Everybody throw your hands up."

The song was premiered on the German music program, Radio Regenbogen, on February 17, 1996 in front of a live audience. The song won a MTV Europe Video Music award.
