"I Get Around" is the second single from 2Pac's second album Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z., and features Shock G and Money-B of Digital Underground, the group that introduced him to the world of hip hop. It was produced by Shock G.^[1] Allmusic notes that in the song 2Pac "brags about his sexual conquests".^[2]

Composition and writing

Some of the background vocals & additional drums on "I Get Around" are sampled from the 1985 Zapp song "Computer Love", while the other background vocals (the lyric "step up") is sampled from "Step in the Arena" by Gang Starr. The percussion is sampled from The Honey Drippers' 1973 track "Impeach the President."

In the 2009 book How to Rap, Shock G recalled that 2Pac wrote the lyrics to the beat after hearing it for a while (rather than with no beat),^[3] and that 2Pac also ghostwrote Shock G's verse.^[4]

Brian McKnight sampled the song on "Hold Me" on his 1997 Anytime album Nicole Wray sampled the song on her single, "I Like It".

Part of the video was shown in the Tupac biopic, "All Eyez On Me," released June 16th 2017.
