Popular is a 2023 pop song by The Weeknd, Playboi Carti and Madonna, released as part of the music around the television series The Idol. Its smooth chorus and confident theme about wanting to be popular helped it travel beyond the show through short-form videos, fan edits and playlists. The short excerpt works well on its own because the hook is immediately recognisable, and creators continue to use it for stylish, confident moments long after its chart run.

This clip captures the polished, instantly recognisable hook from Popular, led by The Weeknd's smooth vocal over a sleek, modern pop production with a steady beat and shimmering synths. It opens with a confident, radio-ready feel and builds into a chorus moment that feels glamorous and self-assured, making it easy to recognise even in a short edit. Listeners tend to associate it with fame, style and being in the spotlight, so it gives a video an instant lift and a sense of main-character energy without needing any explanation.
