The B-side to "Get Lucky" was a song called "Imagine", which was exclusive to the single, written by Stewart and Roy Carter. Carter was rhythm guitarist for the disco band Heatwave before leaving to pursue a career in record production. "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. The remix was created by Phil Harding for Pete Waterman Entertainment. "Say It Again" was written by Bunny Sigler and Carol Davis.

"Get Lucky" continued Stewart's commercial success, particularly in Europe. In the UK, the previous single "Say It Again" peaked at #7. The single's success in Europe continued Stewart's commercial success, with the single peaking at both #6 in Germany and Switzerland as well as #14 in the Netherlands. This would be Stewart's last to 40 hit in Germany although the 1989 single "Is It Really Love?" peaked at #41. In the US, the single failed to be a successful follow-up to "Say It Again", failing to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart. Despite this, the single was successful on the US Dance Charts, peaking at #12.
