"Get Along" is a song written by Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman, and Josh Osborne and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Chesney. It was released in April 2018 as the first single from Chesney's 2018 album Songs for the Saints. It was also Chesney's first single to be released from Warner Bros. Records, which he signed to following a 20-year affiliation with Sony Music Nashville.

Shane McAnally, Ross Copperman, and Josh Osborne wrote "Get Along", which Rolling Stone Country describes as a song that "encourages altruism in a world that only gets more complicated when one strays from savoring the simple pleasures." The song is Chesney's first release for the Nashville division of Warner Bros. Records, following an affiliation with Sony Music Nashville's BNA and Columbia Nashville divisions which lasted more than 20 years.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/country/news/kenny-chesneys-get-along-hear-new-song-w518840|title=Hear Kenny Chesney Urge Compassion in New Song 'Get Along'|last=Levenson|first=Luke|date=April 6, 2018|magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=April 17, 2018}} Chesney told Nash Country Daily that "When I heard this song, beyond how good the rhythm felt, I was amazed how simply they broke all this stuff down.
