Lady Marmalade was first made famous in 1974 by the girl group Labelle.
The song has received many cover versions over the years, in 1998 girl group All Saints took the track to the top of the UK Singles Chart for the first time. The cover version we are all interested in was released in 2001. Recorded by Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Mya and Pink. It was recorded as a single for the Moulin Rouge film soundtrack. Missy Elliott produced the cover, with instrumental help from producer Rockwilder.
A lyric was changed from the original version, with the song's setting being transferred from New Orleans to the Paris nightclub Moulin Rouge.

The song became a big hit, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 in its eighth week in the chart, and spending five weeks at the top of the chart. It was the second song in Billboard chart history (after Aaliyah's 2000 single "Try Again") to hit number one without being released in a major commercially available single format such as a CD or CD maxi single. "Marmalade" was Aguilera's fourth U.S. number-one single and first time number-ones for Kim, Pink and Mya in the U.S. It remained in the U.S. top forty for seventeen weeks and topped the charts in fifteen different countries, including the United Kingdom and Australia. The single was the best selling single for all the artists except for Christina Aguilera and Pink.

The music video was directed by Paul Hunter and features all four performers in lingerie. It was filmed at the end of March 2001 on sets in Los Angeles built to resemble the actual Moulin Rouge night club around the turn of the century (1890-1910)

The video won the MTV Video Music Award for "Best Video of the Year" and "Best Video from a Film"; it was also nominated for "Best Dance Video", "Best Pop Video", "Best Choreography" (Tina Landon), and "Best Art Direction". The song won a 2002 Grammy Award in the category of "Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals". It ranks #30 on MuchMusic's 100 Best Videos.
