I Gotta Feeling was released in 2009 by the Black Eyed Peas and quickly became a global party anthem, topping charts around the world and soundtracking clubs, weddings and New Year celebrations. Its optimistic, dancefloor-ready sound made it a staple of feel-good moments in film, advertising and live events. Years later the intro alone still works as cultural shorthand, instantly signalling fun, friendship and a night out, which is why creators keep reaching for it to open celebration videos and party edits on social media.

This short clip captures the instantly recognisable opening of I Gotta Feeling, the Black Eyed Peas anthem built for big nights out. A bright, pulsing synth riff rises over a steady dance beat, with the vocal hook hovering just behind it, creating that split second of anticipation before the party really starts. Even in just a few seconds it feels euphoric and communal, like the moment a crowd realises something fun is about to happen. It works because listeners already know what comes next, so the intro alone is enough to lift the mood and set an upbeat, celebratory tone.
