"A Little Bit of Luck" is a song by English UK garage duo DJ Luck & MC Neat. The song contains samples of "Unity", a 1991 breakbeat hardcore track by Timebase featuring Kromozone, interpolated vocals from Yami Bolo's "When a Man in Love", and uses the drums from an earlier garage track, "Hyperfunk" by Antonio.[citation needed] The song reached the top 10 on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number nine. It was the first of three consecutive top-10 hit singles for the duo.

In 2017, DJ Luck & MC Neat featured on the track "Through the Night" by rapper Bugzy Malone from his EP King of the North, using resung vocals from "A Little Bit of Luck". It reached No. 92 in the UK.[2]

In September 2019, NME included the song in their "25 essential UK garage anthems" list.[3] Capital Xtra included the song in their list of "The Best Old-School Garage Anthems of All Time".[4] In 2018, the House & Garage Orchestra together with MC Neat recorded an orchestral version for the UK garage covers album Garage Classics.
