Flawless (Go to the City)

"Flawless (Go to the City)" is a song co-written and performed by English singer-songwriter George Michael and released by Sony BMG on 28 June 2004. It samples "Flawless" (2001), originally recorded by the electronic music band the Ones, which in turn samples "Keep On Dancin" (1978), originally recorded by Gary's Gang, and "Romeo and Juliet" by Alec R. Costandinos. The song was taken from Michael's album Patience.

The single charted at No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart. It became a dance hit, especially in the United States, where it reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

Music video
The song's music video, which was in one long take co-conceived by Michael with concept developer Andrew Trovaioli, begins with a man in his hotel room bathroom, urinating. As the occupant freshens up and as the song builds up to its main dance beat, several people of various ethnic groups also enter the room. The dancers begin to undress and re-dress themselves, all as if they have either just got out of the shower themselves, or come home from work. Michael appears in the centre of the room, singing while seated on the bed. The camera zooms out to show the full hotel suite when the entire cast performs a brief, synchronized dance sequence. After this exchange, a hotel employee comes by the door with room service as the occupant is still dressing himself. The employee dances briefly as the occupant turns away to grab a pen to sign for the meal. As the song fades out, the dancers vacate when the occupant sits down to dinner in front of the television, with Michael turning out the lights and leaving the room last.
