"We've Got It Goin' On" is the first single released by the Backstreet Boys from their self titled debut album in September 1995; it is also their first single ever released. It is included in the US album later.

"We've Got It Goin' On" was first released in USA and did well on the charts. It peaked #17 at Billboard Hot 100. After that the single was released over Europe and it gained popularity and the Backstreet Boys toped the European charts.

Member Nick Carter was unable to sing on the recording of the song, as his voice was changing due to puberty at the time. The song was recorded at Cheiron Studios in Sweden during a week in June 1995 with writers and producers Max Martin and Denniz PoP. The band was brought over for a week to record only this song; however, they finished unexpectedly in just two days. As a result, Martin and PoP suggested another song for the band to record, "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)".Interview with Backstreet Boys, management, and others from "Entertainment Weekly" 10th Anniversary Issue.]

Though a radio edit or mix is often track-listed, the radio edit is identical to the album version of the song.
