Daft Punk specifically looked to the album Rumours by Fleetwood Mac and The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd as models. The recording of live synthesizer parts was done in a progressive rock fashion, with the pop sensibilities of Wizzard and The Move. Daft Punk also acknowledged that the record pays homage to Michael Jackson, The Cars and Steely Dan. Regarding the style of the album, they sought a "west coast vibe", referencing such acts as Fleetwood Mac, The Doobie Brothers and the Eagles.

The duo pointed to the process as being further inspiration for the album's title, as they sought to make connections out of the random series of ideas. Their goal was therefore to maximize the potential of infinite storage by recording a sprawling amount of elements. Bangalter explained the reasoning behind the name: "We were drawing a parallel between the brain and the hard drive – the random way that memories are stored." Daft Punk felt that while current technology allows for an unlimited capacity to store recorded material, the content produced by contemporary artists has diminished in quality. The album's title is said to encapsulate Daft Punk's interest in the past, referencing both random-access memory technology and the human experience. Random Access Memories is the duo's most critically and commercially successful album to date, scoring 87/100 on Metacritic, and debuting at number one in 22 countries worldwide. The album features collaborations with Panda Bear, Julian Casablancas, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Giorgio Moroder, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, and Pharrell Williams. The duo limited the use of electronic instruments to drum machines, a modular synthesizer, and vintage vocoders.

Unlike their previous studio albums, Daft Punk recruited session musicians to record live instrumentation in professional studio locations. The album pays tribute to the late 1970s and early 1980s era of music in the United States, particularly the sounds that emerged from Los Angeles. Random Access Memories is their fourth studio album and most ambitious and epic release to date comprising 13 tracks and over 75 minutes long. They appeared in and scored Disney’s Tron: Legacy (2010) which sold 700,000 and catapulted them further into the mainstream. Their awareness reached critical mass when they performed their hit “Stronger” on the Grammy Awards with Kanye West in 2008. Random Access Memories is Daft Punk’s first studio album in 8 years. In their 20-year history, French electronic music duo Daft Punk have redefined electronic music, pioneered the live dance concert experience and shaped pop culture.
