"Real Groove" is a song by Australian singer Kylie Minogue from her fifteenth studio album, Disco (2020). The song was written by Minogue, Teemu Brunila, Nico Stadi and Alida Garpestad Peck, with a sense of optimism for days ahead during the COVID-19 pandemic. Brunila and Stadi also handled the production. It is a disco-pop song with house and R&B elements and features vocoders, a funk bass and post-disco synths. The lyrics see Minogue attempting to win an ex back. A new version, a duet with English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa entitled "Studio 2054 remix", was released on 31 December 2020 as the album's third single. The remix added William Bowerman as a producer with additional instrumentation and Lipa incorporating layered vocals and new lyrics.
Several critics compared "Real Groove" to the works of Daft Punk and of Lipa, particularly her second studio album, Future Nostalgia (2020). Some also appreciated the song's production. Commercially, the song reached number 95 on the UK Singles Chart while also charting within the top 100 of charts in Croatia and Hungary. It also reached number 15 on the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. In late 2020, Minogue performed the song live at her Infinite Disco livestream concert, Lipa's Studio 2054 livestream concert and The Jonathan Ross Show. It was further promoted through remixes by Cheap Cuts, Claus Neonors and Initial Talk. The latter remix was chosen by Billboard as one of the best dance songs of 2021.
