Carrie is a power ballad by Swedish rock band Europe, released as a single in 1988 from their album Out of This World. Written as a softer, melodic counterpoint to the band's harder rock hits, it became one of their most recognisable slow songs and a staple of late 1980s rock radio. Online, short clips of its chorus and keyboard-led opening circulate as emotional background music for edits, tributes and nostalgic compilations, keeping the song familiar to listeners who may not know the full track.
