Panda is the breakout single by American rapper Desiigner, first released in late 2015 and reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2016. Its dark trap production and Desiigner’s distinctive vocal style made it a staple of hip-hop edits, gaming clips and social video, long after its chart run. Short vocal moments from the track are easy to drop into memes because listeners recognise the song instantly, even from a few seconds. That instant recognition, combined with the track’s lasting place in mid-2010s trap culture, keeps Panda sounds in regular use for hype and reaction content.
