Get Closer follows Urban's chart topping Defying Gravity, which produced three hit singles including "Kiss A Girl", "Only You Can Love Me This Way" and "Sweet Thing", for which Urban won his third Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance. Urban fans and fans of country and rock and roll will love this album as Keith steps it up yet again.

"I've always loved songs about `the guy in love with the unattainable girl', said Urban of "Put You In A Song", the debut single from Get Closer. "And the idea that the only chance that this poor guy is ever going to have to get close to the object of his affection is to put her in a song, just struck me. That way he'd be able to take her with him everywhere he goes...day and night."
