"Harder Than You Think" is the first single from Public Enemy's 20th anniversary album How You Sell Soul to a Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul? released in 2007. It was produced by Gary G-Wiz.
The song attained popularity during late summer 2007, and became Public Enemy's highest-charting single on the UK Singles Chart in August 2012. The track borrows from Shirley Bassey's 1972 track "Jezahel",[1] a cover of the song "Jezahel" by the Italian prog rock band Delirium. On November 25, 2023, the authors of ''Jesahel'' (Ivano Fossati and Oscar Prudente) together with Universal Music Group sued Public Enemy for plagiarism, since Fossati and Prudente are not recognized as co-authors of "Harder Than You Think"[2][3]
