U Can't Touch This was released by MC Hammer in 1990 as the lead single from his album Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em, built around the bass riff from Rick James's 1981 song Super Freak. It became Hammer's signature hit and one of the defining pop-rap songs of the early 1990s, helped by its memorable dance routine and music video. Decades later the opening remains instantly recognisable in films, adverts, sports arenas and online edits, where its short, punchy hook signals confidence and celebration without needing the full song.
