Harder Than It Looks is the sixth studio album by Canadian rock band Simple Plan, released on May 6, 2022. It is their first record in six years since Taking One for the Team (2016), their first album not on Atlantic Records, and their last album to feature any contributions by bassist David Desrosiers, as he was fired from the band in 2020 for sexual misconduct allegations, although his bass parts were recorded in 2019.
