Le Youth's 2014 song "Dance with Me" samples which TLC hit single?

The story behind the answer

Le Youth’s 2014 song “Dance with Me” samples TLC’s hit single “No Scrubs.” The track reworks the instantly recognizable musical identity of TLC’s 1999 R&B-pop classic in a house and dance-pop setting.

Le Youth is the stage name of producer Wes James, and “Dance with Me” features rapper Dominique Young Unique. The song’s polished electronic production gives the older sample a club-oriented feel, showing how a familiar late-1990s hit could be reshaped for a new audience. Credits and descriptions of the song also identify a sample connection to “The Party Continues,” but “No Scrubs” is the TLC hit asked about here.

TLC’s original became one of the group’s signature songs and a major crossover success. It was written by Kandi Burruss, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle and producer Kevin “She’kspere” Briggs, with additional vocal and rap contributions from TLC. Its enduring hook is what makes the sample recognizable.
