"Getting into Something" is singer Alison Moyet's second of three singles from 1994, appearing on the album Essex.^[1] This single was the follow-up to Moyet's first top 20 hit of seven years "Whispering Your Name".^[2]

The single failed to enter the UK top 40, peaking at #51 for a total of two weeks.^[2] This was considered a disappointment after the previous single had peaked into the UK top 20.

A promotional video was created for the single.

The b-side for the single is a remix of "Never Too Late" which the original version appeared on the 1991 "Hoodoo", written by Moyet, Dean Kennedy and Warren Kennedy.^[3]

The two other bonus tracks for the single were acoustic versions of "Dorothy" and "Ne Me Quitte Pas". The song "Dorothy" was written about Moyet's maternal grandmother.^[4]

The 12" single included the exclusive track "Getting into Something (Midnight Mix)", a remix by Bay Route.^[5]
