"The Hard Way" is a song by Australian electronic trio Pnau and American singer Khalid, released through Etcetc on 10 March 2023.

In a statement, Pnau's Nick Littlemore, said "We are so very excited to share this with you. Working with Khalid has been an absolute dream, we hope this song shall live in your hearts like it does ours."[1] About the song, Khalid said "It's just awesome; it's feel-good but then the lyrics have that melancholy, bittersweet thing about them, it's that juxtaposition, that the lyrics are heartbreakingly sad but if you listen to the song, you can't help but smile."[1]
