The chorus of Tears for Fears' 1985 hit Everybody Wants to Rule the World, with synth pop and soaring vocals, used for dramatic reveals and nostalgic edits.

This clip captures the instantly recognisable chorus of Everybody Wants to Rule the World, where Roland Orzabal's clear, soaring vocal rides over shimmering synths, a steady driving beat and warm bass. The melody feels both triumphant and wistful, building a sense of scale and possibility that makes ordinary footage feel cinematic. Even in a short excerpt, the polished 1980s production and confident hook give a scene momentum, nostalgia and a quietly dramatic lift, which is why it works so well behind reveals, montages and moments of ambition.

Everybody Wants to Rule the World was released by English band Tears for Fears in 1985 as a single from their album Songs from the Big Chair. Written by Roland Orzabal with Ian Stanley and Chris Hughes, it became one of the band's biggest international hits and a defining sound of mid-1980s pop. Decades later, its chorus resurfaced in films, television and online edits, where its hopeful yet ominous tone fits both sincere montages and ironic power fantasies, keeping the song familiar to listeners who first heard it long after its release.

Professionele tip voor gebruik

Drop the clip just as the chorus lands on a reveal or turning point, letting the vocal swell carry the moment, and cut back before the hook repeats. Pair it with slow-motion footage or a clean title card, and avoid layering dialogue over the singing.
