Shooting Stars was released in 2008 by Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders and later appeared on their debut album in 2010. The song found a second life in 2017 when editors began dropping people and characters into space, timelapses and surreal backgrounds timed to its drifting chorus. Those edits turned the track into shorthand for floating away from a scene. This second part is shared separately so creators can grab the section they need without trimming the full song, and the loop still appears in remixes and meme edits today.
About this sound
Shooting Stars is the dreamy electronic track by Bag Raiders, heard here in part two. The clip is used in memes for floating, fading and surreal edits.
This clip is the second part of Shooting Stars, the synth driven pop track built around a repeating vocal line and bright, pulsing chords. It has a light, drifting feel, with the melody rising and then gliding downward as if something is falling slowly through space. That dreamy drop in energy is why viewers instantly read it as floating, zoning out, or disappearing into the background. The sound is smooth rather than startling, so it works as a gentle punchline that lets a visual gag drift away instead of ending with a hard cut.
