Discover the story of the song > Lady Marmalade – Lil’ Kim

The song is about a group of women (referred to as "soul sistas") who perform at the Moulin Rouge. The protagonist, Lady Marmalade, meets a man and invites him to her boudoir. The chorus repeats the phrase "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?" which means "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?" in French. The women are portrayed as independent and empowered, using their sexuality to their advantage.
