Source-derived summary

"Get Over It" is the first solo single by English female raggamuffin toaster MC Kinky. It charted at number 95 on the UK Singles Chart after being featured on an episode of Channel 4's The Word.

Background

"Get Over It" is MC Kinky's first solo single after featuring on E-Zee Possee's "Everything Starts with an 'E'". It was written by MC Kinky and produced by her and Boy George (operating under the name 'The Hand of Jesus') with one version being released which had Apollo 440 on remixing duties. It was released on More Protein, a vanity label established by Boy George because no-one would release "Everything Starts with an 'E'". The song was performed on the series 1 finale of Channel 4's The Word.

The following week, it made No. 95 on the UK Singles Chart. It would be her only solo entry on the UK Singles Chart under the name 'MC Kinky'. The song was not released on any album until 2009, when the song was re-issued on Feral on Kinky's album Girl with a Halo 2 as "So Over It".
