Silk City is a group comprising producers Mark Ronson and Diplo. "Even though the style of music we do is quite different, there's so much shared stuff that we do love – like classic house, disco and hip-hop," Ronson told BBC Radio 1's Annie Mac in 2018 about his partnership with the Major Lazer musician. "So we just got in the studio sometime last year and started making some music."
This soulful, piano-laced cut is clearly inspired by '90s house music. It features vocals by guest artist Dua Lipa in which she describes the electric connection between her and a love interest. "The song is a belter," Ronson told The London Times. "Spiritual piano house music like they used to make… Lipa sounds imperious." The producer added that Lipa "has this deep, soulful voice that harkens back to gospel house."
"Electricity" is Dua Lipa's second collaboration in 2018 with a major dance artist; she sang on Calvin Harris' "One Kiss" earlier in the year.
