"'''Play Hard'''" is a song by French [[disc jockey|DJ]] and record producer [[David Guetta]], featuring vocals from [[Ne-Yo]] and [[Akon]], from the re-release of Guetta's fifth studio album, ''[[Nothing but the Beat]]''. The song was written by Ne-Yo, Akon, David Guetta, Frédéric Riesterer, Giorgio Tuinfort, and it was produced by Guetta, Tuinfort and Riesterer. The chorus melody of the song heavily samples "[[Better Off Alone (Alice DeeJay song)|Better Off Alone]]" by [[Alice DeeJay]], as written by [[Alice DeeJay|Sebastiaan Molijn and Eelke Kalberg]]. "Play Hard" charted at number twenty-two on the [[UK Singles Chart]], thus becoming his twenty-third top 40 hit in the UK. It also charted within the top 40 of the charts in several other countries.
"'''Play Hard'''" is a song by French [[disc jockey|DJ]] and record producer [[David Guetta]] featuring vocals from American singers [[Ne-Yo]] and [[Akon]]. It was released on 15 March 2013 as the third single from the [[Nothing but the Beat#2.0 version|2012 re-release]] of Guetta's fifth studio album, ''[[Nothing but the Beat]]'' (2011). This is the third collaboration between Guetta and Akon since "[[Sexy Bitch]]" in 2009 and "[[Crank It Up (David Guetta song)|Crank It Up]]" in 2011. All three artists co-wrote the song along with Frédéric Riesterer and Giorgio Tuinfort, both of whom produced the song with Guetta. It features a prominent [[synthesizer]] [[riff]] [[Sampling (music)|sampled]] from the 1998 song "[[Better Off Alone]]" by Dutch [[Eurodance]] project [[Alice Deejay]]; as a result, [[Sebastiaan Molijn]] and [[Eelke Kalberg]] are credited as songwriters.


"Play Hard" peaked at number six on the [[UK Singles Chart]], thus becoming his fourteenth top 10 hit in the UK as a lead artist. It also charted within the top 10 of the charts in several other countries including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Scotland, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain and Switzerland; as well as the top 20 in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and New Zealand.
Guetta reported on [[Twitter]] shortly before the release that he has planned to release an edited version of "Play Hard" as the next single from ''Nothing but the Beat 2.0'' for a long while, thus making it the ninth single from ''Nothing but the Beat'' as a whole.<ref>{{cite web|title=Back to the studio on Monday to finish the new version of play hard , my next single.

13 second sample from David Guetta's "Play Hard"

"Play Hard" is a song by French DJ and record producer David Guetta featuring vocals from American singers Ne-Yo and Akon. It was released on 15 March 2013 as the third single from the 2012 re-release of Guetta's fifth studio album, Nothing but the Beat (2011). This is the third collaboration between Guetta and Akon since "Sexy Bitch" in 2009 and "Crank It Up" in 2011. All three artists co-wrote the song along with Frédéric Riesterer and Giorgio Tuinfort, both of whom produced the song with Guetta. It features a prominent synthesizer riff sampled from the 1998 song "Better Off Alone" by Dutch Eurodance project Alice Deejay; as a result, Sebastiaan Molijn and Eelke Kalberg are credited as songwriters.

"Play Hard" peaked at number six on the UK Singles Chart, thus becoming his fourteenth top 10 hit in the UK as a lead artist. It also charted within the top 10 of the charts in several other countries including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Scotland, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain and Switzerland; as well as the top 20 in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland and New Zealand.

Music video

[edit]

An official music video was uploaded to Guetta's official Vevo channel on April 22, 2013.[2] The video uses the New Edit version of the song. Directed by Swede Andreas Nilsson,[3] it generated controversy for its stereotypical portrayal of Mexico.[4][5][6] The video and an advertisement from Neon Mixr feature the popular dancers, Les Twins. The video has over 1.1 billion views as of August 2023.
