Background and composition
"Get It While It's Hot" was written and produced by both Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis for Nodesha's self-titled debut studio album. It derives from the musical genre of R&B, and samples the song "I Want Your Love" by the American band Chic. Eamonn McCusker of The Digital Fix called it a "stomping partner" to Bootylicious by American girl group Destiny's Child. The song contains "breathless" vocals from Nodesha which are against a backing track that has R&B and disco genres.

According to the same editor, "the Jam & Lewis stamp is reminiscent enough of Janet Jackson" to give the song "built-in familiarity".
