Blue released their next single, Too Close (a cover version of Next's song), on August 27, 2001 and this song was Blue's first number one single.

The song "Get Down on It" by Kool & the gang, which was covered by the boy band Blue, encourages listeners to participate in dancing and groove to the music. The song starts with a series of rhetorical questions, asking what the listener is going to do, with "Blue" responding that they are going to get down. The chorus reiterates this, suggesting that if the listener "really wants it," they have to feel the music and get down on it. This is echoed in the verses, which suggest that the only way to dance is to "get your back off the wall" and move with the music. The song emphasizes that dancing is all about feeling and moving your body in response to the music. The song's overall message is one of encouraging people to embrace the joy and energy of dancing and to let go of their inhibitions to fully enjoy the experience.
One interesting fact about the song "Get Down on It" is that it was a major hit when it was first released in 1981, reaching number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number ten on the UK Singles Chart. It has since been covered by a number of other artists, including Blue in 2003, Lil Kim in 2001, and Peter Andre in 2010. The song has also been featured in a number of movies, including Rocky III and Something Wild. Another interesting fact is that the song's lyrics were written by Kool & the Gang's Robert βKoolβ Bell and Ronald Bell, who based the song's message on the idea of "urban renewal" and the need for people to come together and support each other in tough times.
