Gonna Get Over You

"Gonna Get Over You" was written by Bareilles and Sam Farrar, who is the bass guitar player for rock band Phantom Planet.[3] Bareilles recorded a new version featuring additional vocals from OneRepublic's Ryan Tedder. The new version was released as a single on September 20, 2011 exclusively on iTunes.[3] Jon Pareles wrote for The New York Times that "the "post-breakup ballad" is a "finger-snapping, modernized doo-wop concoction" and has "swooping harmonized lines, nonsense-syllable backups, antiphonal choirs and a chorus that revolves around a nugget of self-reliance: 'I’ll be all right, just not tonight/But someday'."[2] Jim Farber of New York Daily News perceived that the track "strikes a marching beat, making a heartbreak song sound like a victory lap."[4] Will Hermes of Rolling Stone considered it the best track on the album, writing that the song is "a playfully sexy bit of doo-wop pop."[1] Allison Stewart of Washington Post called it a "rollicking, harmony-heavy pop song."[5] Megan Vick wrote for Billboard that the song is a "mid-century piano parlor ditty."[6] BBC Music's Mark Beaumont believed that the "hooks that intensify on Gonna Get Over You, which might as well be called Man, I Feel Like Shania."[7]

A music video for the song was released on September 20, 2011 and was directed by comedian Jonah Hill. Driving up to a Latino supermarket, Sara sports a pompadour and a rad jacket, bent upon converting daily shoppers into a gang of leather-clad dancers.[8]

The song's first appearance was on the Billboard's Adult Pop Songs chart at number thirty-nine.[10] It fell out to number thirty-nine, the next week and it climbed to number thirty-five, so far.[11]

Sara has performed the song at Walmart Soundcheck, on September 12, 2010.[12] She also performed it alongside Cee Lo Green's hit "Forget You" on VEVO at The Warfield in San Francisco, on February 17, 2011.[13]
