About
"The Hardest Button to Button" is a song by American alternative rock band the White Stripes, released on August 11, 2003, through V2, XL, and Third Man records. It was written by Jack White and for the band's fourth album, Elephant. According to Jack, the song is about a child trying to find his place in a dysfunctional family when a new baby comes. The cover of the single is an allusion to the graphics of Saul Bass, seen in the movie posters and title sequences of films such as Anatomy of a Murder and The Man with the Golden Arm. The cover also alludes to White's then-broken index finger and his obsession with the number three.
