"Get Ready" was New Order's first album in 8 years, following on from 1993's "Republic". The album features, as always, a Peter Saville designed cover. The cover model is German actress Nicolette Krebitz. Peter Hook said, of the album's title "The title of the album is 'Get Ready' so it could mean anything or nothing. I thought it was just nice, New Order, 'Get Ready', 'cos we are, we're getting ready for the next phase of our musical lives both physically and mentally so it's quite a simple thing but it's very pertinent."

Released shortly afterwards, the single "Here to Stay" (2002) was not on the album.
