"Stronger" is the second single from Kanye West's album Graduation. The single was first released digitally on July 31, 2007. Stronger features a prominent sample from the song Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger by the French house music duo Daft Punk, who received songwriter credits (along with original "Cola Bottle Baby" songwriter Edwin Birdsong, who Daft Punk themselves sampled) and had their costumes appear in the music video, which was co-directed by West and Hype Williams.
According to an interview with Def Jam president (at the time) Jay-Z, West obsessed over the production and mixing of the track, having it mixed 75 times, as he could not seem to get the kick drum to sound precisely the way that he wanted it to, amongst other issues. West reportedly recorded over fifty versions of the track.
The song topped the charts in the United States and was eventually certified Diamond (10x platinum) by the RIAA in 2021. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards on February 10, 2008, where West performed the song with Daft Punk as a surprise guest in what became their first televised live performance in their career. The song has since been included on Rolling Stone magazine's '500 Greatest Albums of All Time' list (at #500). The track has also since been credited with not only encouraging other hip-hop artists to incorporate house and electronica elements into their music, but also with playing a part in the revival of disco and electro-infused music in the late 2000s. The song also brought Daft Punk to prominence in the United States; Rolling Stone credited it with "the beginning of the group's path to mainstream success." Read more on Last.fm.
