Can't Get Any Harder

"Can't Get Any Harder" is a song by American singer James Brown from his fifty-sixth studio album, Universal James (1993).

It was released in January 1993 via Scotti Brothers Records as the album's lead single.

Written by C+C Music Factory members Robert Clivillés and David Cole, Trilogy's Duran Ramos, and Leaders of the New School, it was produced by Clivillés and Cole with co-production by Ricky Crespo, and features guest rap vocals from Trilogy and Leaders of the New School.

It was also a Brown's final music video to date featured a live dancer and college students.

It was poorly received by critics; AllMusic described it as "strain[ing] for rap credibility",[1] while Entertainment Weekly dismissed it as "junky".
