Safe and Sound is a song by the American indie pop duo Capital Cities, first released in 2011 and later included on the album In a Tidal Wave of Mystery. Its prominent brass hook helped make the track instantly recognizable. The song gained broad international attention through radio, advertising, music videos, and social platforms. Short fanfare excerpts later became useful for TikTok transitions and montage edits because the upbeat melody communicates celebration quickly, even when separated from the song’s vocals.
