After listening to Daft Punk's demo of what would become "Get Lucky", Rodgers asked that all of the elements except the drum track be muted so that he could create a suitable guitar part he recalled that he experimented until the duo were visibly pleased. This coincidentally was the studio where the first Chic single had been recorded, in the neighborhood in which Rodgers grew up. The duo eventually invited Rodgers to the Random Access Memories sessions at Electric Lady Studios in New York City. He noted however that a series of near misses and scheduling conflicts had delayed their chance of collaborating. The duo acknowledged Chic's influence in the song " Around the World" and had great respect for Rodgers. Daft Punk first met Rodgers at a listening party in New York for the duo's 1997 debut album Homework, and became friends thereafter. "Get Lucky" was completed over the course of approximately 18 months. The song is nominated for both Best Pop Duo/Group Performance and Record of the Year at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards. The single reached the top ten in the music charts of over 32 countries, and has sold more than 7.3 million copies as of September 2013. "Get Lucky" has since received acclaim from critics, and has spawned numerous cover versions and parodies. Following a leak days earlier, the single was released as a digital download on 19 April 2013. Musically, "Get Lucky" is a disco and funk song while lyrically, according to Williams, the song is about the fortune of connecting with someone and not just about sexual chemistry. Small excerpts also appear throughout the promotional video series The Collaborators. 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. It is the lead single from Daft Punk's fourth studio album, Random Access Memories. " Get Lucky" is a song by French house music duo Daft Punk, featuring Pharrell Williams and co-written with Nile Rodgers.
