[Verse 1]
There is a game of love
There is a game of love
This is a game of love
This is a game of love
And it was you
And it was you
The one that would be breaking my heart
When you decided to walk away
When you decided to walk away

[Refrain]
The one that would be breaking my heart
When you decided to walk away
When you decided to walk away

[Verse 2]
There is a game of love
There is a game of love
This is a game of love
This is a game of love
And it was you
And it was you
The one that would be breaking my heart
When you decided to walk away
When I wanted you to stay

[Outro]
And it was you
I just wanted you to stay
Me, I just wanted you to stay
Me, I just wanted you to stay
Me, I just wanted you to stay

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.
