In 1998 and 1999, it was re-released respectively under the title "Get Up (the '98 Sequel)" and "Get Up (the 1999 Sequel)". The song appears in Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 4 and Dance Dance Revolution 3rd Mix.

Critical reception


AllMusic editor Alex Henderson described the song as "highly infectious".[4] Bill Coleman from Billboard said it is "not as catchy" as the group's breakthrough smash.[5] Nicole Leedham from The Canberra Times stated that the song, with "Pump Up the Jam", were "pushing the envelope of dance music in the late '80s."[6] A reviewer from Daily Mirror deemed it a "pounding" dance-floor track.[7] Pan-European magazine Music & Media commented, "Can they do it again? It certainly seems that way. This is less rap and more of an orthodox pop song. A strong chorus and one of the biggest bass sounds around. Excellent."[8] Pop Rescue stated that "Get Up! (Before the Night Is Over" "isn’t so dissimilar" to "Pump Up the Jam", "although plays more on the bass line, and gives Ya Kid K the vocalist credit that she works hard to earn – rapping, singing and writing the song."[9]
