"So Hard Done By" was the fourth single Canada's Tragically Hip pulled from their 1994 album Day for Night, released in May 1995 between "Nautical Disaster" and "Scared". It's a full-band effort in every sense: all five members wrote it, with Gord Downie on vocals, Rob Baker and Paul Langlois on electric guitars, Gord Sinclair on electric bass and Johnny Fay on drums.
The Hip produced, recorded and mixed it themselves with Mark Howard, and Mark Vreeken came aboard as associate producer. The song got a second life years later, when a different version surfaced on the 2014 reissue of Fully Completely.
