About This Soundtrack
The 2026 Netflix comedy Ladies First, directed by Thea Sharrock and starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike, follows an unrepentant womanizer who wakes up in a parallel world where gender roles are completely reversed. The film's soundtrack is a carefully curated collection of classic rock, soul, pop, and R&B tracks that mirror the protagonist's chaotic journey through this inverted society, with a playful original score by Icelandic composer Atli Örvarsson weaving throughout.
The licensed music in Ladies First is a time-capsule of masculine bravado anthems, used with sharp irony throughout the film. Standout needle drops include The Killers' swaggering The Man, which opens the film as Damien sails on his 'Smart Ass Boat'; Ginuwine's Pony, which plays twice, first as seductive background music and later as Damien desperately hammers it out on a piano; and Lou Reed's Walk on the Wild Side, which bookends one of the film's key physical comedy sequences. Bee Gees' Stayin' Alive and Rod Stewart's Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? further amplify the satirical tone.

Did you know?
- A Rare Self-Remake: The movie is a remake of the French comedy I Am Not an Easy Man (Je Ne Suis Pas Un Homme Facile, 2018). Since Netflix already owned the rights to the original, this project stands out as a rare instance where the platform produced an English-language remake of its own foreign-language original.
- An Adaptation Specialist: The director is Thea Sharrock, highly acclaimed for directing the hit romantic drama Me Before You (2016). She shared that she carefully scattered visual easter eggs throughout the background scenery to highlight the subtle, everyday gender role reversals.
- Role Reversals for Famous Actors: To sharpen the satire, the movie places actors known for imposing roles into comical positions of submission. One of the highlights is seeing Charles Dance (famous as Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones) playing a timid assistant serving coffee to Rosamund Pike's character.
- A Collaborative Screenplay: While based on the original concept by Éléonore Pourriat, Netflix brought in a strong team of writers to adapt the humor for a global audience. The final script was shaped by Natalie Krinsky, Katie Silberman (Booksmart), and Cinco Paul (Despicable Me).
Official Trailer
About the Movie
Ladies First is a satirical comedy movie available on Netflix. It is directed by Thea Sharrock and features a score composed by Atli Örvarsson. The story follows Damien Sachs (Sacha Baron Cohen), an arrogant, sexist, and highly successful ladies' man. He has everything he wants: money, power, and a stream of casual flings. However, after an accident, his life is completely upended when he wakes up in an alternate reality. In this parallel universe, the traditional social power dynamics are reversed, and women dominate society.
To make matters more challenging, Damien finds himself subordinate to Alex Fox (Rosamund Pike), a formidable and fearless woman who becomes his boss. Trapped in a world where men experience the workplace struggles and societal double standards that women face in our reality, he must navigate this unfamiliar landscape. The movie uses sharp humor to explore gender roles, privilege, and social expectations when the script is completely flipped.
