Can't Get Any Harder

"Can't Get Any Harder" is a song recorded by James Brown. It was written and produced by members of C+C Music Factory Robert Clivillés and David Cole and Leaders of the New School and appeared as the lead track on Brown's 1992 album Universal James.[1][2] It was poorly received by critics; AllMusic described it as "strain[ing] for rap credibility",[2] while Entertainment Weekly dismissed it as "junky".[3] A maxi single containing several remixes of the song was released in 1993 and charted number 76 R&B.[4] It was Brown's last charting single in the United States.
