Get Ready was New Order's first album in 8 years, following on from 1993's Republic. The album features a cover designed by Peter Saville, who has also designed covers for previous New Order and Joy Division albums. The cover model is German actress Nicolette Krebitz. Peter Hook said, of the album's title "The title of the album is 'Get Ready' so it could mean anything or nothing. I thought it was just nice, New Order, 'Get Ready', 'cos we are, we're getting ready for the next phase of our musical lives both physically and mentally so it's quite a simple thing but it's very pertinent." The album was dedicated to Rob Gretton, the manager of Joy Division and New Order, who died in 1999.
Released shortly afterwards, the single "Here to Stay" (2002) was not on the album.
"Someone Like You" appears in the independent film Haggard: The Movie, and his respective soundtrack.
In 2009, "Slow Jam" was used in a Visa advertising campaign.
