Daft Punk “One More Time” Is 25 Years Old
Twenty-five years ago today, on November 13, 2000, Daft Punk changed everything with their huge hit, ‘One More Time’.
After their first album, ‘Homework’, the two French robots were expected to keep making raw club tracks. Instead, they gave us ‘One More Time’, the first single from their ‘Discovery’ album. It was a total game-changer.
The track has that famous sweeping filter effect, a driving beat, and the unforgettable, auto-tuned vocals by Romanthony. Back then, some people thought the robotic voice was weird, but Daft Punk knew exactly what they were doing. They used that technology to create a signature sound that perfectly matched their robot look. It was innovative, it was catchy, and it made them global superstars.
‘One More Time’ became a worldwide smash, launching Daft Punk into the mainstream. It topped charts everywhere and became the soundtrack of the early 2000s. The music video, which was actually part of a full animated movie called ‘Interstella 5555’, made the song even more iconic. It turned the simple party track into an epic, heartfelt story.
The simple request in the lyrics, “one more time”, is what makes the song timeless. It’s about not wanting the good times to end, and celebrating life on the dance floor. So, put it on repeat today and celebrate the song that proved Daft Punk were true legends.
