During an interview for The Guardian on 13 December 2010, Li said of the song:
"A lot of people think it's about sex. [...] But it's about power. I was reading the Murakami book The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle, where she goes into this guy's mind by making him fantasise about her, so it's kind of like powerplay. As soon as a woman does anything, they seem to hit a nerve and it's back to sex. At least men seem to think that."[6]
As well as The Vampire Diaries,Teen Wolf and other hit shows listed above Get Some has also been on the Australian hit TV serious "Offspring" in episode six of season two.
On 3 March 2011, Li performed "Get Some" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.[7] On March 10, she performed the song on Conan[8] and on Last Call with Carson Daly on March 15.[9] "Get Some" was used also in a Victoria's Secret commercial. It was also featered in the videogame Need For Speed The Run while racing Mila Belova.
