MØ, the Danish singer-songwriter behind the track, built an international following with a blend of pop, electronic and indie influences, and Waste of Time fits that understated, vocal-led style. Short excerpts like this one circulate on soundboards because they are easy to recognise, easy to loop and short enough to fit a single scene or transition. Rather than relying on a loud hook, the clip works through mood, which is why creators keep returning to it for reflective edits, personal videos and quiet moments that need feeling without distraction.
About this sound
A short excerpt from MØ's Waste of Time, featuring the Danish singer's vocals over a soft pop beat. It suits reflective edits and quiet video moments.
This six-second clip captures a slice of MØ's Waste of Time, led by her distinctive vocal delivery over a gentle, rhythmic pop production. The sound feels intimate and slightly wistful, with a smooth melody that rises just enough to catch attention without overpowering a scene. It has a clean, polished quality that makes it easy to place under dialogue, montage footage or a slow transition. Listeners tend to recognise the mood instantly, even if they do not know the song, because the tone is warm, modern and quietly emotional rather than loud or dramatic.
