The phrase comes from Imogen Heap's 2005 song 'Hide and Seek', where the vocoder layered line appears as a refrain. Jason Derulo sampled it for his 2009 debut single 'Whatcha Say', taking the hook to a wider pop audience. Before that, a 2007 Saturday Night Live sketch called 'Dear Sister' repeatedly used the original moment to spoof a dramatic shooting scene from The OC, helping turn the snippet into an early internet shorthand for melodramatic betrayals, fake deaths and over the top reveals in edits.
