Shooting Stars is a track by Australian electronic duo Bag Raiders, first released in 2009 and later included on their debut album. It became a widespread internet meme in 2017, when creators paired its dreamy opening with clips of people and animals falling, jumping, or floating in slow motion. The contrast between the uplifting melody and the sudden tumble made the format instantly readable, and it spread across YouTube, Reddit, and short-form video. It remains popular because the first few seconds alone signal a playful fall is coming.

The opening synth riff from Bag Raiders' Shooting Stars, the track behind the viral falling meme. Creators use it to soundtrack drops, jumps and fails.
This short clip captures the bright, shimmering synth opening of Shooting Stars, with its rising electronic melody and crisp, danceable beat. It starts clean and dreamy, then lifts into a catchy hook that instantly feels like something is about to take off or tumble through the air. Because the melody is so recognisable, viewers usually anticipate a funny fall, a dramatic leap, or a surreal slow-motion moment before the action even happens. It adds a light, playful energy that turns an ordinary jump or slip into a meme-ready highlight, making the payoff land harder and feel more shareable.
