outro music

End credits accompaniment

Outro music is the music that plays as something ends—typically over closing credits, at the end of a podcast episode, or as a video fades out.

It signals conclusion and transition, the auditory counterpart to opening theme music: The outro music started as the host wrapped up the show.

Often shortened to simply outro.
