Sicko Mode was released in 2018 by Travis Scott featuring Drake, as a single from the album Astroworld. The track became famous for its unexpected beat switches, which made its drops and bass hits easy to isolate as standalone sounds. Editors on TikTok, YouTube and gaming videos began lifting the boom for transitions and impact moments, separate from the full song. Its association with a major hit gives any clip instant recognition, which is why the short boom remains a popular shorthand for a dramatic shift in tone or energy.
