It was produced by West, Daft Punk, Benji B and Mike Dean. Daft Punk were the first people West became involved with for the album. The song itself was first heard when performed live by West at the Governors Ball Music Festival in 2013. The narrative of Yeezus is set up by West in "On Sight". The song contains a studio recreation of "Sermon (He'll Give Us What We Really Need)" by Holy Name of Mary Choral Family, sung by a choir. Lyrics by West about Parkinson's disease drew in a controversial response from the American Parkinson Disease Association. Music critics positively received the song. It charted on both the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 and US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts at number ten and 38 respectively in 2013. Background"On Sight" was first heard when West performed it live at the Governors Ball Music Festival on June 9, 2013, nine days before the album's release.[1] At the listening party for Yeezus on June 10, West said in a brief speech after playback that he worked with Daft Punk on three or four of the songs, but "Black Skinhead" was the only one the public knew at the time that they had been involved with and the duo are among the album's major producers.[2][3] Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk revealed in a July 2013 interview that they were the first people West came to during the creation of Yeezus.[4] Composition and productionThe song includes an electronic sound, which was mostly crafted by the producers Daft Punk.[5] Unlike most hip hop songs, "On Sight" does not include a snare drum, though thumping drums and synths are included. The production of its opening moments left people polarized upon first listen of the introductory track, which was confirmed by Rick Rubin as intentional.[6] As the album opener on Yeezus, West uses the song to set up the album's narrative with the lines: "Fuck whatever y'all been hearin'/Fuck whatever y'all been wearin'/A monster about to come alive again". The term "on sight" refers to instant action and West repeatedly uses it without any context, which seems more an announcement of how the character portrayed on Yeezus lives.[6] In the first half of the song, West shows the character to be someone that sounds and appears confident and in control, but there is something off about the forcefulness of his expression. The second half is closed out by West giving more details of the character's unfulfilling bohemian life, which is followed up by "on sight" being repeated several times before the lyrics deconstruct further to a glitch.[6] In the outro, West recalls the "I need you right now" refrain of his 2007 single "Stronger".[7] When describing the song's sound, Noah Goldstein was quoted as saying: "On Sight" sets a new bar. Nobody's doing that. There's no chance in hell that anybody's gonna put that on and be like, 'Oh, that's J. Cole'-- not to diss J. Cole. But there's only one person who can do that kind of shit.[8] The song contains a studio recreation of "Sermon (He'll Give Us What We Really Need)", written by Keith Carter, Sr., and performed by Holy Name of Mary Choral Family, sung by a choir.[9] One week prior to the album's release, lawyers were forced to track down the choir director of "Sermon (He'll Give Us What We Really Need)" and members of the choir for it to get clearance for the sample.[10] Critical receptionThe song received widespread acclaim from music critics. Helen Brown of The Telegraph viewed it as being where "West slams the breaks on an industrial-electro grind for a sudden, gloriously demented burst of the Holy Name of Mary Choral Family".[11] The song's position on Yeezus was branded by Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone as being a "system-shock body rock of an album opener".[12] Steph Blasnik of Mic claimed for West to be "almost taunting the listener" with the bridge: "How much do I not give a fuck? / Let me show you right now before you give it up." and viewed the bridge as where "short and to the point nature sets the tone for the album and lets you know what it all about — non-compliance".[13] Chris Martins of SPIN viewed the track as being a "glitch-blitzed Atari Grown Man Riot of an opener".[14] Controversy"On Sight" contains controversial lyrics referencing Parkinson's disease: "Soon as I pull up and park the Benz / We get this bitch shaking like Parkinson's." The lyrics aroused controversy from the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA).[15] The group called the verse "distasteful and the product of obvious ignorance."[15] Maurice Bobb of MTV replied to the lyrics, stating: "The self-professed 'black new wave artist' is no stranger to controversial lyrics, drawing the ire of PETA for saying that his 'mink is draggin' on the floor' on last year's "Cold", but APDA's outrage seems perfunctory considering that this isn't the first time a rapper has used the symptoms of Parkinson's disease for lyrical effect", and West had yet to respond to the ADPA at the time.[16] Commercial performanceIn the week that Yeezus was released, the track reached number ten on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 and dropped out of the chart permanently afterwards.[17] It also debuted at number 38 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[18] Live performancesWest first performed "On Sight" live at the Governors Ball Music Festival in June 2013.[1] In response to the performance, Tom Breihan of Stereogum described the song as what "sounded like Kanye's version of late-'80s industrial dance music".[1] When performing the song live at Seattle's KeyArena on The Yeezus Tour in October 2013, West played the choir sample repeatedly.[19] Later that month, on the same tour, West staggered out to the bleeps of the song when he performed it live as the opener for a concert at Staples Center in Los Angeles and he also performed it as the opener to a concert on the tour at Dallas' American Airlines Center in December 2013.[20][21] Credits and personnelCredits adapted from the liner notes of Yeezus.[22] {{div col|colwidth=22em}}
