HandClap was released in 2016 by American pop band Fitz and the Tantrums as the lead single from their self-titled third album. Built around its chant-like chorus, the song became a fixture in adverts, sports arenas, trailers and television spots, which helped the lyric travel far beyond the full track. Short clips of the hook later circulated on soundboards and in edits, where the direct invitation to clap works without any setup. Its mix of pop, soul and indie energy keeps it useful for upbeat moments years after release.
