“Can I Get It” is a song by British singer-songwriter Adele, taken from her fourth studio album, 30. The song was written by Adele with Max Martin and Shellback, who also produced the track. “Can I Get It” serves as the sixth song on 30. Its title was confirmed on November 1, 2021, when the album’s track listing was revealed online.

Background and composition

Adele co-wrote “Can I Get It” with Max Martin and Shellback, with whom she previously wrote “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” for her third studio album, 25. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Adele revealed that “Can I Get It” was written about her desire to be in a real relationship rather than one defined by casual sex, largely based on her experiences dating in Los Angeles after her divorce from Simon Konecki. “I’ve left my marriage to go forward,” she said, “not to fucking go backwards.”

Sonically, the song has drawn favorable comparisons to George Michael’s “Faith.” Adele herself described the song as “very nineties” while noting that the verses have a “wild country vibe.”

Lyrics

Pave me a path to follow And I’ll tread any dangerous road I will beg and I’ll steal, I will borrow If I can make it, if I can make your heart my home Throw me to the water I don’t care how deep or shallow Because my heart can pound like thunder And your love, and your love can set me free Oh, I have promised I will love you till the end of time Through it all, the good, the bad, the ugly, and divine I will be the melody, the rhythm and your rhyme All I want is for you to be mine, mine So can I get it right now? Mh Can I get it right now? (Can I get it here?) Can I get it right now? (Huh) Can I get it right now? Let me, let me just come and get it Can I get it? You tease me with your control Because I long to live under your spell And without your love I’m hollow I won’t make it, I won’t make it on my own Oh, I have promised I will love you till the end of time (The end of time) Through it all, the good, the bad, the ugly and divine (So divine) I will be the melody, the rhythm and your rhyme (Mh-mh-mh) All I want is for you to be mine, mine So can I get it right now? Mh Can I get it right now? (Can I get it here?) Can I get it right now? (Huh) Can I get it right now? Let me, let me just come and get it Can I get it? When will you run with me? Like I know you wanna (Like you want to, like you want to) You’re the one for me And I’m countin’ on you (On you) To put the pieces of me back together So can I get it right now? Mh Can I get it right now? (Mh, mh) Can I get it right now? (Uh) Can I get it right now? Let me, let me just come and get it
