Background

edit

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk cited Romanthony as an influence on their track "Teachers" and met him at the 1996 Winter Music Conference, where they became friends. They sought to collaborate with him on their debut album Homework but initially faced difficulty convincing him due to their then-unknown status. Despite this, Romanthony expressed enthusiasm for their work.[1] He later released the single "Hold On" on Bangalter's label, Roulé, prior to the release of Daft Punk's single.[2]

Composition

edit

Sampling

edit

"One More Time" contains a sample of the 1978 disco song "More Spell on You" by Liberian singer Eddie Johns, from the 1979 album of the same name. The parts sampled were chopped up and rearranged slices of the brass riff. Johns had been destitute for decades due to suffering a stroke, which made it difficult for him to find work, eventually leading to homelessness after moving to Los Angeles. He did not receive royalties for the sample and was uncredited in the Discovery liner notes.[3] Although the duo initially denied sampling the song, the news site Vibe reported that the sample had been officially cleared.[4][5][6] A representative for Daft Punk later confirmed the use of the sample and stated that they continued to pay royalties to GM Musipro, the French publishing company that has owned the rights to "More Spell on You" since 1995.[7] A representative of GM Musipro said they had never been able to locate Johns and that they would follow up on the matter after an investigation by the Los Angeles Times in 2021.[8] Music industry attorney Erin M. Jacobson noted it was common for rights owners to be untraceable and estimated that Johns could be owed a sum "in the high six-to-seven-figure range" based on streams alone.[9][10]

Music video

edit

"One More Time" appears in the 2003 animated film Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, serving as a visual interpretation of Daft Punk's album Discovery. The film was co-written by Daft Punk and Cédric Hervet, and directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi, Hirotoshi Rissen, and Daisuke Nishio, under the visual supervision of Leiji Matsumoto. The song opens the film, introducing a pop band of humanoid, blue-skinned aliens consisting of guitarist Arpegius, drummer Baryl, keyboardist Octave, and bassist Stella. They perform a concert in front of an auditorium filled with thousands of extraterrestrial spectators also sporting blue skin. Towards the video's conclusion, spaceships invade the venue under the command of a mysterious, darkly attired figure.[11][12]

Other versions

edit

An "unplugged" rendition by Romanthony was included in the 2003 remix album Daft Club. The remix album also features a remix of "Aerodynamic" by Daft Punk, incorporating elements of "One More Time".[11] The "unplugged" rendition was unfavorably reviewed, with Ben Cardew of Vice saying that it was "as celebratory as a party popper firing off a balcony" and that it was "like Daft Punk as played by David Brent, which sounds brilliant but really isn't."[13] Nick Sylvester of Pitchfork sarcastically stated, "It's not like Romanthony's gonna do something stupid like do an acoustic version of the song and actually sing without those vocal effects– that would be suicide!"[14] Additionally, a "short radio edit" of the song was included in the 2006 compilation album Musique Vol. 1 1993–2005. Daft Punk remixed the song during their Alive 2006/2007 tour, both with "Aerodynamic" and as part of a mix with "Human After All", "Together" and "Music Sounds Better with You." This remixes were included on the live album Alive 2007.

Use in other works

edit

"One More Time" has been sampled and interpolated numerous times by various artists.

In 2011, Machine Gun Kelly's album Rage Pack included the song "LTFU (One More Time)", which sampled "One More Time". In the following year, Lil B incorporated the track into "BasedGod Fucked My Bitches," featured on his mixtape "White Flame."[15]

In January 2016, "One More Time" was sampled and incorporated into Miliyah Kato's song "Future Lover (Mirai Koibito)", with the song peaking at number 30 on the Oricon charts and number 42 on Billboard Japan Hot 100.[16]

In November 2022, Drake and 21 Savage sampled "One More Time" in their song "Circo Loco" from the album Her Loss.[17][18] The sample was heavily criticized by critics, with Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork describing the song as having a "hammily stupid Daft Punk flip," while Josh Svetz of Paste wrote that the song's "worst crime is butchering Daft Punk's classic 'One More Time.'"[19][20]
