"Gettin' Some" (explicitly titled "Gettin' Some Head" in the explicit version) is a song by American hip hop recording artist Shawnna. It was released on December 3, 2005, via Disturbing tha Peace/Def Jam Recordings as a single from her second studio album Block Music. The original version of "Gettin' Some" appears on Block Music as a hidden track. The song samples Too Short's "Blowjob Betty".{{Cite web|last=|first=|date=|title=Gettin' Some by Shawnna on WhoSampled|url=https://www.whosampled.com/Shawnna/Gettin%27-Some/|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=September 3, 2020|website=WhoSampled|language=en}}
The radio edit of the song features rapper Ludacris. The song is a reference to oral sex as the rappers tell in the song's chorus about receiving oral sex from women. The popularity of the song earned Shawnna her first platinum certification as a solo artist by the Recording Industry Association of America on December 6, 2006. The music video included Chicago model Candy Brooks as the "oohs and aahs girl".
