Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger

Daft Punk

One of Daft Punk’s most popular and famous singles, “Harder Better Faster Stronger” draws you in with its catchy beat, irresistible electronic vocals, and fun lyrical wordplay. Put together like an assembly line, this song begins as just disconnected lines and words, but in the end, these words come together to form coherent phrases and sentences.

The single cover is the only one that explicitly draws from Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem - showing how the anime uses the song to score the blue alien band going through a machine that makes them look human.

The song’s limited lyrics were also exploited in the viral video “Daft Hands” (which in turn inspired a full-bodied performance, “Daft Bodies”).

The song was sampled in Kanye West’s “Stronger”.
