Cornered is part of the soundtrack of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, the courtroom adventure game first released by Capcom on the Game Boy Advance in 2001 and later introduced widely on Nintendo DS. It became one of the series' most recognizable tracks because it plays during crucial trial turns. Online, the theme spread through debate memes, anime-style edits, and video essays whenever someone reaches the decisive point in an argument. Its strong build still makes it a go-to sound for dramatic reveals.
