505 is a song by English rock band Arctic Monkeys, released as the closing track on their second album, Favourite Worst Nightmare, in 2007. Written around a late-night return to a hotel room, the track became a long-standing fan favourite and a regular closer in the band's live shows. Years after its release, short excerpts began circulating widely on social video platforms, where listeners used the song's reflective mood for nostalgic edits and personal montages. That second wave of online sharing has kept the brief snippet recognisable to a newer audience beyond the original album listeners.
About this sound
A short snippet of Arctic Monkeys' 505, capturing the song's moody opening riff and vocals for edits, reaction videos and nostalgic music moments.
This brief clip captures a fragment of Arctic Monkeys' 505, built around Alex Turner's restrained vocal delivery and the track's slow, atmospheric guitar line. The sound feels intimate and slightly melancholic, with a sparse arrangement that leaves space around the voice and chords, making it instantly recognisable to fans of the band. Even in just a few seconds, it carries the late-night, reflective mood of the full song, evoking longing and quiet tension rather than energy or humour. Listeners tend to pause on it, recalling the chorus or a specific memory tied to the track, which gives the snippet an emotional weight far beyond its short length.
