À propos de ce son

The iconic “It’s rewind time” line from YouTube Rewind 2018, used in memes, throwback edits and clips that jokingly reset a moment.

This sound is the short spoken line “It’s rewind time,” delivered in a calm, instantly recognisable way before a reset or flashback joke. The clip is brief and clean, making it easy to drop into edits right before a cut backwards, a failed moment replay, or a nostalgic montage. It gives a scene a self-aware internet vibe and works because viewers already associate the phrase with forced rewinds, awkward retrospectives, and meme-heavy commentary. Even on its own, the line signals that something is about to be replayed, undone, or revisited for laughs.

This phrase became widely known from YouTube Rewind 2018, where Will Smith opens the video by saying “It’s rewind time.” The line quickly escaped the original upload and spread across meme edits, reaction videos, and parody compilations, often used to introduce a fake do-over or a sarcastic flashback. It stayed popular because the wording is simple, the delivery is memorable, and the source video became a major online talking point. The clip is still used whenever creators want to signal a rewind with obvious internet irony.

Conseil professionnel d'utilisation

Place this line a beat before a hard cut to an earlier clip, then add a quick reverse transition or spin-back effect. It works best for ironic rewinds and glow-down recaps, but feels weaker if you use it without an actual visual reset.

Cas d'utilisation

  • Replaying a fail right after the first impact.
  • Starting a throwback montage with ironic nostalgia.
  • Resetting a chaotic scene for a second attempt.
  • Mocking overproduced year-in-review style edits.
