Get Lucky is the second album released by the hard rock band Loverboy in 1981. The album reached number 7 on the Billboard 200 album chart, remaining on the chart for over two years, and has sold over 4 million copies in the United States. It featured the hit singles, " Working for the Weekend," " When It's Over," "Lucky Ones," "Gangs In the Street," and "Take Me to the Top."
According to Scott Smith's notes on the Greatest Hits album "Big Ones," the song "Take Me to the Top" is actually the demo version "complete with out of tune bass" because the band couldn't quite capture the sound in the studio.
The album was re-released as a digitally remastered CD in July 2006 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of its original release. The remastered album featured four bonus tracks, all of which are previously unreleased demo versions of previously released songs.

"Get Lucky" was written by Errol Brown and Simon Climie. Brown is a Jamaican-born singer and songwriter, best known as the frontman of Hot Chocolate. Climie is a songwriter and the former lead singer of the 1980s, UK pop duo, Climie Fisher, but is now more well known for his work as a collaborator with Eric Clapton.
The B-side to "Get Lucky" was a song called "Imagine", which was exclusive to the single, written by Stewart and Roy Carter.

"Imagine" later appeared on the 2005 compilation Attention: A Tribute to Jermaine Stewart.
For the single, various remixes of "Get Lucky" were released along with the CD single track "Say It Again (The Jingle Mix)" which is a remix of Stewart's previous hit single, also from Stewart's album Say It Again.
