Live at Electric Lady is a live Spotify-exclusive single by American singer-songwriter Remi Wolf. It acts as her first ever live project to be distributed among streaming services, as it was conceived in partnership with Spotify and Electric Lady Studios. The EP contains five live re-recordings of previous Remi Wolf songs, as well as one Frank Ocean cover.
Spotify first announced its collaboration with Electric Lady Studios on July 13th, 2022, mentioning its consolidation with Remi as well. The association between the companies was decided upon when Spotify began attempting to establish headquarters in New York, thus requiring a studio for their Spotify Singles series. With this, they had selected Electric Lady due to its cultural significance in the music industry as many impactful musicians have recorded within its confines. Remi further introduced the concept on July 31, revealing a performance of Juno's "wyd" which would later be included on the EP, alongside mentioning a Frank Ocean cover. A photoshoot of Remi in the studio was published a day prior to the EP's release, the same day its tracklist was inevitably confirmed via Instagram Stories.
In celebration of the upcoming record, Remi would announce she was "planning something special for the release," asking others in New York City to get in contact with her. This "special" unknown event ended up as a meet-and-greet within Electric Lady Studios, the very same studio where the EP was recorded. This occurred on the 3, a day prior to the project's release.
“Remi got us donuts and fancy water, … we listened to the EP in the studio it was recorded in, … she came in and talked about the recording process and answered some of our questions.“

The group began listening to the EP, as the meet-up acted as the project's premiere.
“When the intro of "Woo! - Live at Electric Lady" was played, we all started laughing.“

On the day of release, Remi elaborated on her decision in choosing to cover Frank Ocean's "Pink + White", stating she had been presented a "catalog of songs to choose from," and she ended up indecisively shifting her selection between an AC/DC cover, or a cover of Frank Ocean. Remi wanted to do something of AC/DC considering her familiarity with the band, but her intuition led her to "Pink + White" due to its unique aura.
