"Get On Your Feet" is a single by Gloria Estefan. It was released in 1989 in U.S., Japan and UK and in 1990 in Europe as the second single from the album Cuts Both Ways.

Estefan's 1990 tour (which ended prematurely following a coach crash) was named after the track. The track has featured in several subsequent tours, and was the final song in the Estefan medley performed on the VH1 special "Vh1 Divas". In performance, Estefan characteristically jumps into the air when singing the title line.

In the popular viral video Dance Monkeyboy, Steve Ballmer danced and screamed wildly to this song at a Microsoft employee convention.

The song was covered by Fantasia Barrino on the third season of American Idol, during a Gloria Estefan-themed episode.

Gloria performed this song with Sheila E. during the seventh season edition of the American Idol charity fundraiser Idol Gives Back. The performance was released as a single and as a video at the US iTunes store to raise money for charities in Africa and the United States.
