"Touch" serves as the seventh track from the group's fourth studio album, ''Random Access Memories'' (2013). The song was featured in the American thriller TV series, Mr. Robot, and Daft Punk's farewell video, "Epilogue".

This became the melody Williams sang to and led to Caswell receiving a songwriter credit for the track. "Touch" is a multi-part ballad in common time. The tr ...
