Got Myself Together


"Got Myself Together" is a song by the Bucketheads, released in late 1995. It was the commercial follow-up to global hit "The Bomb! ", and was the third single taken from the project's sole album, All in [the Mind |All in the Mind].
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.

Background

"Got Myself Together" is a disco-inspired house track based around a prominent sample of Brass Construction's 1976 hit, "Movin'". 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. The remix gained heavy rotation from the likes of Annie Mac and Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1, and The Black Madonna.

Critical reception

from Spin said that, in comparison to "The Bomb!", the single "gets knee-deeper in jazzy acid-funk."

Music video

Like its predecessor, the music video for "Got Myself Together" was directed by Guy Ritchie and Alex de Rakoff. 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.
