Get Lucky (Daft Punk song)

"Get Lucky" is a song by French house music duo Daft Punk, featuring Pharrell Williams and co-written by the duo, Williams and Nile Rodgers. It is the lead single from Daft Punk's fourth studio album, Random Access Memories.[1]  Before its release as a single, "Get Lucky" was featured in television advertisements broadcast during Saturday Night Live, after which Rodgers and Williams announced their involvement in the track.[2] [3]  Small excerpts also appear throughout the promotional video series The Collaborators.[4] [5]

"Get Lucky" is a disco and funk song with lyrics that, according to Williams, are about the fortune of connecting with someone, as well as sexual chemistry.[4] After it leaked in mid-April, the single was released as a digital download on 19 April 2013.[6]  "Get Lucky" has since received acclaim from critics,[7] [8] [9]  and has spawned numerous cover versions and parodies. The single reached the top ten in the music charts of over 32 countries, and has sold more than 9.3 million copies. The song won awards for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, during which Stevie Wonder joined Daft Punk, Williams and Rodgers onstage to perform the song.

The duo eventually invited Rodgers to the Random Access Memories sessions at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. This coincidentally was the studio where the first Chic single had been recorded, in the neighborhood in which Rodgers grew up.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-collaborators3_5-1" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[5]

He had joked that, "If you just want me to play tambourine, I'll do it." The duo and Williams later met in Paris, where he shared some of his own material; Williams explained that he had been inspired by Rodgers, not knowing that Daft Punk had coincidentally been recording with him.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-collaborators4_4-2" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[4] Williams noted that the duo adopted a perfectionist approach during the recording of the vocals for "Get Lucky", as he was asked to perform several takes and multiple instances of specific phrases.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AutoRD-3_17-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[17]  As a member of The Neptunes production team, Williams had previously provided a remix of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" that appeared on the 2003 album Daft Club. Daft Punk also served as co-writers and producers for the 2010 single "Hypnotize U" by N.E.R.D, Williams' band. ==Composition<span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == Pharrell Williamsperformed vocals for "Get Lucky".<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:20.363636016845703px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:13.63636302947998px;">"Get Lucky" is composed in B minor (Dorian mode—the sheet music has 3 sharps with a tonal centre of B).

Rodgers considered the minimal number of layers to be a characteristic of early Chic recordings due to the technical production limitations his band had at the time.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-AutoRD-5_21-0" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[21]  Hakim demonstrated that the hi-hat pattern of "Get Lucky" was devised as a way to provide variety whilst maintaining a minimal four on the floorrhythm.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-22" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[22]

He elaborated that the title does not simply refer to a sexual act, but to the fortune of meeting with and immediately connecting to someone.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-collaborators4_4-4" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[4]  Williams' vocal and Daft Punk's vocoder performance jointly span three octaves: D<sub style="line-height:1;">2 -D<sub style="line-height:1;">5.
