context_page_description: "On Sight" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his sixth studio album, Yeezus. It was produced by West, Daft Punk, Benji B and Mike Dean. The song includes an electronic sound that was mainly contributed by Daft Punk, who 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" 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. The song received widespread acclaim from music critics, many of whom were complementary towards its position of the opening track on the album, though some critics noted the electronic sound. The song 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.
context_section_description: "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. Thomas Bangalter of French duo Daft Punk revealed in an April 2013 interview about their album Random Access Memories that during the recording of it, the duo worked with West on material for his next album. 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. Bangalter revealed in a July 2013 interview that Daft Punk were the first people West came to during the creation of Yeezus.
