Collaborations don’t come much bigger than PNAU and Khalid’s heavyweight meet-up for their brand new single ‘The Hard Way’. The two artists share a combined total of over 70 million monthly listeners at Spotify, with a host of international #1 smashes to their credit, with their biggest moments including PNAU’s unmissable Elton John / Dua Lipa collab ‘Cold Heart’ and Khalid’s ‘lovely’ alongside Billie Eilish.
‘The Hard Way’ instantly lives up to its billing. It’s big scale contemporary pop at its finest, with PNAU’s sublime synthpop providing the towering melodies and supremely confident hook that allows Khalid’s starry vocal majesty to shine. The two artists really lean into each other’s vibe to establish a depth of feeling, with Khalid’s lovelorn lyricism and sentimental emotions complemented by PNAU’s ability to evoke nostalgic ‘80s sonic elements within a modernistic production.
PNAU’s Nick Littlemore says, "We are so very excited to share this with you. Working with Khalid has been an absolute dream, we hope this song shall live in your hearts like it does ours. Big love, PNAU.“
Khalid adds, “It's just awesome, it's feel-good but then the lyrics have that melancholy, bittersweet thing about them. It's that juxtaposition, that the lyrics are heartbreakingly sad but if you listen to the song you can't help but smile. Those are my favourite songs, the ones that contradict. Just waiting for the world to hear it, they're going to attach to it and just love it..”

I’m super late to the party, heard this song for the first time this past weekend and I’ve been OBSESSED ever since!!! 😍😍😍

[@fabrilarco]

This song reminds me of someone I don't talk to anymore. We used to like the same type of music. I hope he's happy now❤!

[@michaeljordan4358]

It’s so good , I wish they could make more music like this these days . Has the 80’s vibe.

[@ankainhetpanhuis9239]

Youre abselutely right it haves the 80's vibe!!

[@rdzdoodles8592]

I think this is what we are seeing now. The trends are experiencing a cycle because once something makes it to the mainstream then it is good to freshen things up and get back to something that used to be popular - remind people why it was so!

[@samuels997]

you should also listen to Weeknd songs if you love 80s vibe...

[@SunVibez13]

Listen to some actual 80s pop music!! Too good

[@CIREDESIGN321]

theres a whole decade of real 80s music...why do you need more of it these days? Its never going to be as good as it was, just repurposed.

[@djmiguelsimoes]

This is so 80's... the old times really had that vibe. Thank you !

[@lila1933]

[@marcopuppetto5049]

This song is a mix of wham and rick astley😂. Lovely this song. The sounds make me feel in the 80s

[@indiexninja]

Sounds like Never Be the Same by Christopher Cross :) that came out in 1979 lol Someone who studied music please tell me if these songs have similar keys/chords?

[@ishidacoolp]

I love this song already!!! Sounds very disco and romantic at the same time.

[@samirzz803]

This song would have done well in the top 40, if this song had been released. Found a gem of a tune, here. 😊🎉

Fajna nutka :) taka z klimatem :) nie to co inne jednorazówki wkurzające...

[@emmansamar3843]

You have no idea how hard it is for me to find this song after I heard some parts of it while I am in a fastfood restaurant! THE SATISFACTION!

Same haha, I heard it while out shopping and I become obsessed.

[@michaelcaling]

This is an 80’s fever dream

[@runforestrunfpv4354]

Definitely time travelled back to the 90s.

[@hendrikavorster]

This song has been on reapeat for the past 3 three days, and I'm not stopping anytime soon. I fell in love with this song since the first time I heard it. I'm loving the 80's disco vibe of this song. ❤💥😎

[@user-tq1kv2dc3r]

Jest super piękna piosenka odrazu mi wpadała w ucho ciągłe jej słucham

[@izaszym8019]

Od razu wpada w ucho ! Fajna nutka

[@bubdigli6756]

This is a far cry from "No More Violence" I'm glad you guys found a soft spot.

[@JosueHernandezCamposs]

This song is a hug for the soul 🫂❤️

[@j.g.5760]

beautifully said :)

[@carinagreen7082]

Yes! You totally found the words

[@idiworld]

La mélodie est magique, tout est parfait, ça ramène aux souvenirs d'espoir, d'insouciance et de joie des années 80. Même si les paroles son tristes et nous rendent nostalgique et un peu mélancolique, le refrain est très entrainant. J'adore cette chanson, je peux l'écouter en boucle !

[@angelicanieblas-mendoza90]

Reminds me of "Hercules - I wont say im in love" Disney :)

[@cantforgetyou]

Wow!!! What a great production and song. Never heard of PNAU. Now I'm gonna listen to all the albums. I'm always searching on youtube for new emotional synthpop!!! Greetings from the Netherlands.

[@robertgrell486]

The melody line reminds me of my youth.

[@NauticaSea217]

DUDE! I was born in the 80s! This kicks arse!

[@element372]

AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! CAN'T STOP LISTENING IT!!!! I LOOOOOOOVE IT

[@lanzealot3429]

This is incredibly vibey!

[@francescopaolociampone]

This song means the world to me. I think its something new and special and I hope you guys feel it the way I do❤

[@jvisionchile]

Lyric video finally dropped! PNAU and Khalid in collaboration! WHAT! 😱😱😱😱, This song is a MASTERPIECE, gives 80's disco vibes and this sounds nostalgic and wholesome! They deserve another hit with this one and DESERVES A MUSIC VIDEO :)

Sztos 🔥🔥 Rewelacja 🤩❤️🥰

[@papuga7010]

W zeszłym roku- Heavy Metal Love , teraz ten kawałek. Oby więcej takiej muzy

[@VRCommy]

I absolutely love this song, and have it on non stop repeat 🥰🙏🏼 I just wish the lyrics made a little more sense. “Someone to wipe away the stain, under the rain” Stains don’t wipe away. That’s why they’re called stains. I would’ve gone with “wash away the pain, under the rain” Idk feels more flowy and makes more sense to me 🤷🏼‍♂️ Still an absolute cracker of a track tho 🔥🔥🔥🥰

[@stephiepahlavizan1]

THIS SONG HAS AMAZING ENERGY............IT MAKES ME FEEL HAPPY.........LIKE HOW MY FACE FEELS WHEN THE SUN SHINES ON IT.

[@karole7977]

What a perfect mix and positive song with the voice of Khalid and the sound of PNAU ! I just want to dance and thinking of nothing, just enjoy ❤🧡💛💚💙

[@ukaszborowski1196]

It's a sad song, how this is positive song for you ? ;)

[@Squakea]

Z początku myślałem że to śpiewa Lenny Kravitz :) bardzo podobny głos :) nutka faktycznie fajna i wpada w ucho :)

[@deleeuwbarry8462]

C'est ça la musique ! Cette chanson resemble à un coup de foudre en amour. Dès les premières notes, tu rentres dans une autre dimension. C'est pourquoi je n'écoute pas n'importe quelle chanson. Si une chanson ne me fait pas vibrer, je ne l'écoute jamais. ❤

[@user-rs2ln2nq2w]

beautiful song touches the heart❤

[@garypamatat3167]

What a brilliant combination, Pnau of "Cold Heart" fame and the fabulous Khalid on one beautiful dance stormer. This is too good not to be a MASSIVE smash top 10 hit. Please buy this song SCREW STREAMING.

[@Nepatez]

am i the only one who hears Cliff Richard when this is playing? its a great song has a great 80's vibe
