"One More Time" is a single by Daft Punk first released on December 5, 2000 and later included in the album Discovery. The song's vocal performance by Romanthony is heavily auto-tuned and compressed.[1] As part of the album, the track is featured in the introduction to the film Interstella 5555. It is also featured in the Wii video game Boogie. "One More Time" remains their biggest commercial hit to date. It nearly topped the United Kingdom chart in 2000, instead peaking at #2, and was one of their few charting songs in the United States, reaching #61 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[edit] Structure

"One More Time" prominently features a vocal performance written and sung by Romanthony.[2] As stated by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, "we thought the funkiness of his voice fit the funkiness of the music."[3] The song's vocal features heavy processing and auto-tuning. When questioned on the effects, Thomas Bangalter stated "A lot of people complain about musicians using Auto-Tune. It reminds me of the late '70s when musicians in France tried to ban the synthesizer... What they didn't see was that you could use those tools in a new way instead of just for replacing the instruments that came before."[1] According to Bangalter, Romanthony enjoyed the alterations to his vocal on the track. "He has done a lot of different things and he always tries to innovate, which is what we like to do on our records. He never had his voice treated like an instrument like that."[1]

"One More Time" is believed to contain a sample from "More Spell On You" by Eddie Johns,[4] but this is uncredited in the Discovery liner notes. Bangalter reportedly denied using any samples for the song.[5]
