About this sound

This seven-second clip captures Lionel Richie singing the opening line “Hello, is it me you’re looking for?” in his smooth, warm voice over soft 1980s pop backing. It feels tender and slightly over-the-top at once, turning a simple greeting into a dramatic, knowing moment. It comes from Richie’s 1984 song “Hello,” from the album Can’t Slow Down.

Use it as you walk into a room where everyone has been waiting for you.

Pro tip

Wait until the person, object or answer is already on screen before you start it, so the greeting lands as a reveal rather than a random hello.

Good to know

Place it at the reveal, just as the searched-for person steps into frame, then follow it with the Drama Button Sound Effect for a bigger entrance or the Owen Wilson Wow for a surprised reaction.
