"Lady (Hear Me Tonight)" is the debut single by French house duo Modjo, written and performed by vocalist Yann Destagnol and producer Romain Tranchart, and released in May 2000. The song is written in B♭ minor. However, the acoustic version is recorded in G minor.

The song features a guitar sample of "Soup for One" performed by Chic, as written by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards. In 2011, Chic added the song to their concert setlist, which is performed as a mash-up song with "Soup for One".

The single includes the original version of the track, plus an acoustic version, both performed by Modjo. Remixes have been provided by Harry Romero, Roy Davis, Jr. and Danny Tenaglia.

The song debuted at number one in the UK, where it stayed for two weeks to become the 16th best-selling single of 2000. It also became a top 10 hit in thirteen countries. In the United States, the song peaked at number one on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

A mash-up of the track with "The Boy Is Mine" by Brandy Norwood and Monica charted in the UK in March 2001 at number 10, credited to Stuntmasterz.

The music video was directed by François Nemeta and was filmed in June 2000 in various locations in Quebec, Canada.
