About this sound

The soaring chorus of Conchita Wurst's Rise Like a Phoenix, the Eurovision 2014 winning ballad. Used for triumphant comebacks, reveals and glow-up edits.

This clip captures the climactic chorus of Rise Like a Phoenix, Conchita Wurst's dramatic James Bond-style ballad. It opens with swelling strings and deep piano chords before Conchita's powerful contralto voice soars into the defiant hook, holding long notes over booming orchestral hits. The production feels cinematic and triumphant, building from tense quiet to full emotional release. For a viewer it lands as pure empowerment, turning an ordinary before-and-after into a heroic transformation and giving even a simple reveal the weight of a movie finale.

Pro tip

Time the edit so the vocal peak lands exactly on your reveal. Let the strings swell under the before footage, then hard-cut to the after on the word rise. Avoid voiceovers during the chorus and skip added whooshes that clash with the orchestra.
