The idea to use this specific sample was reportedly suggested to Modjo by Thomas Bangalter , one half of Daft Punk.
The track's instantly recognizable groove is built around a guitar sample from the 1982 song "Soup for One" by the legendary disco group Chic .
In a rare reversal of typical sampling dynamics, Nile Rodgers and Chic loved the track so much that they added "Lady" to their live concert setlists, often performing it as a live mash-up with the original "Soup for One". 🎬 The Music Video
