Why it's here
"Play Hard" is a 2013 David Guetta single from Nothing but the Beat 2.0 that is built on a sample of Alice Deejay's 1998 Eurodance record "Better Off Alone." [1] Guetta still plays it live in updated form, performing a "David Guetta 2026 Remix" of "Play Hard" at his Monolith Tour show at Ippodromo SNAI San Siro for I-Days Milano on 6 September 2026, the week before this chart date. [2] The pairing was also issued commercially as a mashup, "Better Off Alone / Play Hard (feat. Ne-Yo & Akon) [David Guetta & MORTEN Remix]," credited to David Guetta & Alice Deejay and released in 2025. [3]
