Paper Planes was released by British artist M.I.A. in 2007 on her album Kala, sampling The Clash track Straight to Hell. The song became a worldwide hit in 2008 after wider radio play and prominent use in film trailers, and its chorus stayed familiar through radio, adverts and social media. Short excerpts later circulated on soundboards and video apps, where creators reuse the recognisable hook for travel, money and escape jokes, which keeps the track present long after its original chart run ended.

Short clip from M.I.A.'s Paper Planes with its catchy hook, used in edits, memes and reels for money, travel and fly-away moments online today.
This is a short, punchy excerpt from Paper Planes, built around a bright, looping beat and a singalong vocal hook that is instantly recognisable. The rhythm feels light and bouncy, but the delivery has a cool, unbothered swagger that makes the moment feel confident and a little rebellious. Played on its own it works like a musical shorthand, and dropped into a video it instantly lifts the mood, gives a scene a carefree, travelling energy, and makes an ordinary clip feel like a stylish montage moment viewers remember.
