Stronger (Kanye West song)

"Stronger" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his third studio album, Graduation (2007). The song was written and produced by West, with an extended outro handled by Mike Dean. Daft Punk were credited as co-writers due to their work being sampled; West decided to sample "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" after first hearing the duo's work when touring in 2006, then made the beat and spent months re-writing his verses; Daft Punk voiced their approval of the song, finding West made the sample suitable for his personality as he ventured outside of hip-hop. Edwin Birdsong also received a credit for a master use of "Cola Bottle Baby".
