Plants vs. Zombies was released by PopCap Games in 2009, with music composed by Laura Shigihara. The original tower-defense game became widely recognized for combining colorful suburban visuals, strategic gameplay, and a playful zombie theme. Its soundtrack helped define that balance of comedy and mild suspense. Clips from the music later circulated through gameplay videos, retrospectives, fan animations, remixes, and memes. The theme remains familiar because it immediately recalls the game’s lawn battles and distinctive cartoon style.
