The opening instrumental from Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On, the smooth soul intro people use for romantic, flirty or comedic reveal moments online.

This is the first eleven seconds of Marvin Gaye's 1973 classic Let's Get It On, before any vocals enter. A wah-wah guitar riff curls over a warm bassline, soft drums and lush strings, instantly setting a slow, sensual and unmistakable mood. Even listeners who do not know the full song recognise the opening as shorthand for romance and desire. Dropped into a video it transforms an ordinary glance, entrance or close up into a knowing joke, letting the audience feel the attraction before anyone says a word.

Marvin Gaye released Let's Get It On in 1973 as the title track of his album of the same name, and it became one of the defining soul records of the decade. Its distinctive opening guitar figure, created to feel intimate from the very first note, has been quoted in films, television and adverts for decades. On soundboards and in short edits the intro alone now works as a cultural cue, used whenever a creator wants instant romantic tension without using the vocal or the full track.

Professionele tip voor gebruik

✦ AI

Place the riff right on the eye contact or slow zoom, not before it, and let the first guitar notes play clean for two seconds before cutting. Pair it with a freeze frame or slow motion, and avoid adding dialogue over the intro.

Veelgestelde vragen

✦ AI
What is the Let's Get It On opening sound?
The clip is the instrumental opening of Marvin Gaye's 1973 soul song Let's Get It On. It features the famous wah-wah guitar riff, bass and strings before the vocal starts, which is why this short version contains no lyrics at all.
Why do people use this opening in videos?
Creators use it as an instant romantic cue. The first few notes are so widely recognised that a normal look, entrance or close up suddenly reads as flirtatious or seductive, making it perfect for comedy edits, memes and playful reveal moments.
Is this the full Let's Get It On song?
No, this is only the short opening section, lasting about eleven seconds. It captures the intro riff and groove before Marvin Gaye begins singing, so it works as a standalone sound effect for edits rather than a complete track to listen to.
