Air (Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel) originally recruited Thomas Mars to contribute to “Playground Love” for its inclusion on the soundtrack to Sofia Coppola’s 1999 directorial debut, The Virgin Suicides, which was produced by Air. Mars last performed the song with Air on multiple occasions in 2004.
