"I Get Lifted" is a 1994 song recorded by the American singer Barbara Tucker, who co-wrote the single with Little Louie Vega, who produced the track. This was Tucker's second of seven number-one singles on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart, reaching the top spot on January 28, 1995.[1] On the UK Chart, the single peaked at 33 in 1995.[2][3][4] It was re-released with a new remix package in 2009.

Critical reception[]

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Tucker follows her massive "Beautiful People" with a similar house mover. She belts words of increased spirituality and unity with earnest conviction, matching the energy of the groove with ease." He added, "The stylistic influence of producer Louie Vega is evident. He weaves a kickin' rhythm base that both DJs and punters will find infectious."[5] Maria Jimenez from Music & Media described it as "another highly charged, positivity track" and "ideal crossover dance music".[6] Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five, noting that the singer returns with a "strident garage track". He also stated that "it is destined to be a big clubland tune that could cross over."[7] James Hamilton from the magazine's RM Dance Update deemed it a "gospel cliches inspired diva's 'Little' Louie Vegas produced bounder".[8]
