What's going on? (Work it harder, make it better)
Could this be my understanding? (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
It's not your fault (More than ever, hour after hour)
I was being too demanding (Work is never over)

I must admit (Work it harder, make it better)
It's my pride that made me distant (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
All because (More than ever, hour after hour)
I hoped that you'd be someone different (Work is never over)

(Work it harder, make it better)
There's not much I know about you (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
(More than ever, hour after hour)
Fear will always make you blind (Work is never over)
(Work it harder, make it better)
But the answer is in clear view (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
(More than ever, hour after hour)
It's amazing what you'll find face to face (Work is never over)

Amazing what you'll find face to face (Work it harder, make it better)
Amazing what you'll find face to face (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
Amazing what you'll find face to face (More than ever, hour after hour)
Amazing what you'll find face to face (Work is never over)
Amazing what you'll find face to face (Work it harder, make it better)
Amazing what you'll find face to face (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
Amazing what you'll find face to face (More than ever, hour after hour)
Amazing what you'll find face to face (Work is never over)

What's going on? (Work it harder, make it better)
Could this be my understanding (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
It's not your fault (More than ever, hour after hour)
I was being too demanding (Work is never over)

I must admit (Work it harder, make it better)
It's my pride that made me distant (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
All because (More than ever, hour after hour)
I hoped that you'd be someone different (Work is never over)

(Work it harder, make it better)
There's not much I know about you (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
(More than ever, hour after hour)
Fear will always make you blind (Work is never over)
(Work it harder, make it better)
But the answer is in clear view (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
(More than ever, hour after hour)
It's amazing what you'll find face to face (Work is never over)

Work it harder
Make it better
Do it faster
Makes us stronger

More than ever
Hour after hour
Work is never over

Work it harder
Make it better
Do it faster
Makes us stronger

More than ever
Hour after hour
Work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over

I turned away (Work it harder, make it better)
'Cause I thought you were the problem (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
Tried to forget (More than ever, hour after hour)
Until I hit the bottom (Work is never over)

But when I faced you (Work it harder, make it better)
In my blank confusion (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
I realized you weren't wrong (More than ever, hour after hour)
It was a mere illusion (Work is never over)

(Work it harder, make it better)
It really didn't make sense (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
(More than ever, hour after hour)
Just to leave this unresolved (Work is never over)
(Work it harder, make it better)
It's not hard to go the distance (Do it faster, makes us stronger)
(More than ever, hour after hour)
When you finally get involved face to face(Work is never over)

Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over

Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over

Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over

Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over
Our work is never over

Daft Punk

With their thoroughly modern disco sound — a blend of house, funk, electro and techno — this French duo was one of the biggest electronic music acts of the late 1990s and 2000s. Guy Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter wore shiny droid costumes at every live show (and only allowed themselves to be photographed in said costumes) but their music was only sometimes Daft Punk were as influenced by rock bands like AC/DC as they were by classic disco acts (Chic’s Nile Rodgers even collaborated with them for their hit 2013 single, “Get Lucky”). Not only were they prolific creators, but some of the best collaborators in the industry, producing for and working alongside artists such as Kanye West and The Weeknd.

On 22 February 2021, Daft Punk announced their retirement through a video titled “Epilogue,” featuring footage from their 2004 film Electroma and the orchestral version of “Touch”. It marks an end to the incredible journey they had in influencing the world of music, with just four studio albums released over the course of 28 years.
