"'''Chic Mystique'''" is a song by American disco and R&B act Chic. Written and produced by guitarist Nile Rodgers and bass-player Bernard Edwards, it was released in January 1992 by Warner Bros. Records as the second single from their eight album, ''Chic-Ism'' (1992). The song was a number-one hit on the US ''Billboard'' Hot Dance Club Play chart, but didn't reach the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. It also achieved moderate success in many European countries where it was a top-25 hit.
