Long Elevator comes from Undertale, the role playing game released in 2015 and created by Toby Fox, who also composed its soundtrack. The track accompanies the elevator journey between Hotland and the CORE, a ride that feels intentionally drawn out compared with the rest of the game. After release, the piece was included on the official Undertale soundtrack and later circulated in fan edits and meme videos, where its calm loop became shorthand for an awkward, overlong wait or transition that refuses to end.
