Ride was released by American duo twenty one pilots in 2015 as part of their fourth studio album Blurryface. Written by frontman Tyler Joseph, with drummer Josh Dun, the track mixes reggae, alternative rock and hip hop influences and was later issued as a single in 2016. Its official video and heavy radio play helped it reach the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. Online, short excerpts circulate for edits and soundboards because the instantly recognisable groove works as a standalone mood cue.
