Hopes and Dreams is a soundtrack piece from Undertale, the 2015 indie game created by Toby Fox. The track became well known through gameplay videos, fan animations and meme edits because its melody sounds hopeful, intense and instantly climactic. Short cuts of it are still used online when creators want a scene to feel like the final phase of a battle or a hard-earned victory. Its popularity lasts because many players recognise it immediately and connect it with one of Undertale's biggest emotional moments.
