Shooting Stars is a track by Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders that became a worldwide internet meme in 2017, when editors began pairing its upbeat drop with clips of people falling, jumping or failing in slow motion. The contrast between the triumphant music and the clumsy footage made the format instantly recognisable, and it spread across YouTube, Reddit and later TikTok. This clip isolates the bass-driven section at the heart of that joke, which is why it still works as shorthand for an overblown, dramatic moment.
About this sound
The bass-heavy drop from Bag Raiders' Shooting Stars, the part used in the viral meme for dramatic reveals and funny short video edits online.
This clip captures the driving bass section of Shooting Stars, where the synth line drops into a pulsing, dance-ready groove after the softer opening. It sounds warm and propulsive, with layered electronic bass, crisp hi-hats and a rising melodic hook that instantly signals something big is about to happen. Played on its own, it feels triumphant and a little over the top, which is why editors use it to turn an ordinary moment into a slow-motion reveal. The familiar beat builds anticipation quickly, then lands with enough energy to make a simple jump, fall or surprise feel like a climax.
