"Body Language" is a song by German house duos M.A.N.D.Y. and Booka Shade.

Composition
"Body Language" features a "smooth bouncy electro base", with a "stealthy, diaphanous groove" that "undulates along"; it also contains elements of funk, jazz and synthpop.

Remixes
A remixed version of the song, titled "Body Language (Interpretation)", appears on Booka Shade's second studio album Movements (2006). Booka Shade did not want to include the original version of the song on the album, as they felt it was "too dancey" and already too well known, so they decided to remake it "with a different approach". Whilst remaining primarily a house song, the remix features additional elements of acoustic guitar, broken beat, dub and reggae, as well as a jazz guitar taken from a sample bank. According to Arno Kammermeier, the remix "reflects the original Body Language sound aesthetic somehow, but now in a more relaxed way".

Accolades
"Body Language" was awarded Best Track of the Season at the 2005 DJ Awards.

Sampling by other musicians
"Body Language", especially its bassline, has been sampled by other musicians on a number of occasions. American rapper will.i.am sampled the song on "Get Your Money", a track from his 2007 album Songs About Girls.

English DJ Jax Jones sampled "Body Language" on his 2016 single "You Don't Know Me", featuring singer Raye. Jones described himself as "obsessed" with "Body Language", having frequently included it in his own DJ sets. Whilst working on music and having completed the lyrics with Raye to what became "You Don't Know Me", Jones experimented with a number of basslines and felt they did not complement the lyrics well; he then decided to pair them with the "Body Language" bassline, and found that it "fitted perfectly".
