intro music

Show's starting melody

Intro music is the music that plays at the beginning of something—a podcast, TV show, video game, or live performance.

It sets the tone and signals to the audience that the main content is about to start.

A recognizable intro becomes part of the brand: I hear the intro music and I know it's time for my favorite show.
