Overview
editIn a 2005 interview with Pitchfork, LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy regarded "Yeah" as the hardest song to make for their debut studio album, stating that it "nearly killed" him.[1] According to Pitchfork's longform article "You Were There", the song "aims to sum up three decades of dance music."[2]
