"Not Gonna Get Us" (translated from "Нас Не Догонят") is the second single from t.A.T.u.'s debut English album 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane and was released in mid-2003. This was also to be the last song taken from that album in the UK. The airplane sample in the song can be considered a leitmotif, as it is used in several remixes. Not Gonna Get Us was sampled in the song "Miss Love Tantei" by W.

The music video for this song is a re-edited version of the Russian video, altered to remove the lip synching, usually by adding a broken glass shot over the shots of them singing. The video starts off with Yulia and Elena's mugshots, implying that they have done something wrong. They steal a large truck and ride off down a snowy Siberian landscape together with the truck slightly burning on the engines' left side while talking and reading a map. They run over a construction worker in the middle of the road, who is played by their ex producer Ivan Shapovalov. At the end of the video it shows both girls standing on the top of the moving truck, hugging each other in triumph. Ivan Shapovalov directed the video. This sequence bears an uncanny resemblance to the end sequences of the film, Runaway Train, starring John Voight, who rides atop, an out-of-control train, through a snowstorm.
