The brass hook comes from Can't Hold Us by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, featuring Ray Dalton, a track from The Heist that became one of the duo's biggest hits. Its opening trumpets were made for big moments, and sports broadcasts, adverts and online creators quickly adopted the fanfare as shorthand for confidence and celebration. The short instrumental clip works on its own because the melody is instantly recognisable even without the rap verses, which is why it still appears in highlight reels, entrance edits and motivational videos years after the song first charted.
