Get Nervous is the fourth studio album by American rock singer Pat Benatar, released in October 1982. It debuted on the Billboard 200 album chart the week ending November 20 and peaked at No. 4, staying on the charts for 46 weeks.[3]

Three songs from the album were released as singles: "Shadows of the Night", "Little Too Late", and "Looking for a Stranger" all reached the US Top 40.[4] In 1983, "Shadows of the Night" garnered Benatar her third Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.[5]
