Appearing on as the fourth song on the album's track listing, "Sexy Lady" was written by Jessie and long-term collaborator Claude Kelly.
[3] Digital Spy's Lewis Corner, also compared the two songs, but concluded that "Sexy Lady" was a "tired knockoff of 'Domino'.
"[4] Phil Mongredien from The Observer, said that "Sexy Lady" (along with "Excuse My Rude") was "perfectly palatable" but not as arresting as "Price Tag" or "Do It Like a Dude".
"[7] Natalie Palmer of Entertainmentwise, felt that "Sexy Lady" and "It's My Party" were too similar, calling them "hard to distinguish", though she did admit that they were "[b]oth good pop songs".
On the week ending 28 September 2013, "Sexy Lady" debuted at number twenty-two on the UK Singles Chart.
