"Skirt" is a 2013 song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue. She co-wrote the song with Chris Elliot, Chris Lake, and The-Dream, while Elliot and Marco Lys produced it. "Skirt" samples "Shake & Bake", a composition by Elliot and DJ Bones.[b] The track premiered on Elliot's SoundCloud account on 28 May 2013—Minogue's 45th birthday—before it was released as a stand-alone promotional single on 24 June.[c] The distribution of the single, both physically and digitally as a remix EP, was handled by Rising Music, an independent record label established by Lake.
"Skirt" is an EDM, dubstep, and house-pop track. The lyrics portray Minogue seducing someone by dropping her skirt. Music critics commended its production and Minogue's return to mainstream dance music. The track was Minogue's tenth number-one single on the US Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. In order to promote the single, an accompanying lyric video was published in June 2013, featuring more than 1,000 stills of her inside a hotel room.
