A representative for Daft Punk confirmed the use of the sample and that the duo continued to pay royalties to GM Musipro, the French publishing company that owned the rights to "More Spell on You". Johns, who has been destitute for decades, did not receive royalties for the sample. "One More Time" contains a sample of the 1979 disco song "More Spell on You" by Eddie Johns, which is uncredited in the Discovery liner notes. Bangalter remarked that, "The break is so long it's not even the break. The album version of the track includes a two-minute breakdown. It's one side of our music that people might be sensitive to and others might not. Love and hate are interesting because it's deep and intense. The worst thing when you make art is for people to not even be moved by it. The healthy thing is that people either loved it or hated it. Criticising the Vocoder is like asking bands in the '60s, 'Why do you use the electric guitar?' It's just a tool. We love to be able to use instruments the way we want to. It's just music, it's just entertainment, and as long as we believe in it that's what is important. We liked the track, Romanthony liked it, we can be disappointed about what they said about the song, but still we liked it. We care less now than we used to about what critics say about our music. He never had his voice treated like an instrument like that." He also elaborated: "He has done a lot of different things and he always tries to innovate, which is what we like to do on our records. What they didn't see was that you could use those tools in a new way instead of just for replacing the instruments that came before." According to Bangalter, Romanthony enjoyed the alterations to his vocal on the track. It reminds me of the late '70s when musicians in France tried to ban the synthesizer. When questioned on the effects, Thomas Bangalter stated "A lot of people complain about musicians using Auto-Tune. The song was considered an example of French house's frequent use of audio filters, featuring heavily processed auto-tuned vocals. As stated by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, "we thought the funkiness of his voice fit the funkiness of the music." It prominently features a vocal performance written and sung by Romanthony. The song was completed as early as the beginning of 1998, where it remained "sitting on a shelf" until its eventual release on 13 November 2000. Daft Punk considered "One More Time" to be the link connecting Homework to Discovery.
