Like "Get Lucky", "Lose Yourself to Dance" was made for Daft Punk's 2013 album Random Access Memories with Nile Rodgers on board and Pharrell Williams singing, and it went to radio in August 2013 as the follow-up to "Get Lucky". Where that hit glides, this one stomps: John "JR" Robinson's kick drum lands like a heartbeat on the dancefloor, Nathan East's bass rolls underneath, and Rodgers chops out a wiry, endlessly patient funk guitar part that never breaks a sweat.
Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo produced it, and they let it ride on a single, hypnotic groove while Pharrell coaxes and the chant keeps coming back. It charted in France, Sweden, Switzerland and the UK before it was even a single, and British radio got behind it, with BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 both putting it on their playlists.
