"The Hard Way" on YouTube

"The Hard Way" is a song by Australian electronic trio Pnau and American singer Khalid, released through Etcetc on 10 March 2023.

In a statement, Pnau's Nick Littlemore, said "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."[1] About the song, Khalid said "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."[1]

Critical reception

Triple J said "On the track, the Sydney trio brings an unapologetically big and sugary synth-pop hit, coupled with a melancholic lyrical performance from Khalid."[2]

Conor Lochie from Tone Deaf said "The sublime synth-pop number conjures nostalgic memories of wholehearted '80s music. Khalid's compelling voice sings forlorn, lovelorn words, surrounded by splendid and splashy melodies. It's just the right mixture of upbeat rhythm and melancholic lyricism."[1]

Buddy Iahn from The Music Universe said "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."[3]
