About this sound

✦ AI

A broadcast-style intro announcing 'we'll be right back' during a pause, used by streamers and video creators to mark a break before returning.

This is a short spoken intro that announces a brief break, delivered in a smooth, upbeat broadcast voice that feels like a classic television intermission. The phrase 'we'll be right back' lands clearly and confidently, with a polished, slightly nostalgic tone that tells viewers to stay put rather than click away. It lasts just a few seconds, making it easy to drop between segments, scenes, or gameplay moments without losing momentum. The familiar wording instantly signals a pause, builds a little anticipation for what comes next, and keeps the audience feeling included while the creator steps away, resets, or prepares the next part.

The phrase 'we'll be right back' has long been a staple of radio and television broadcasting, where presenters used it to reassure audiences during short commercial or station breaks. As streaming and online video grew, creators adopted the same wording for their own pauses, and short clips of the announcement began circulating on soundboards for easy reuse. It remains popular because the message is instantly understood across ages and formats, signalling a temporary stop without ending the broadcast, and giving viewers a clear reason to wait for the return.

Pro Tip for Usage

✦ AI

Place it right at the cut to a break screen or looping 'BRB' graphic, and let it finish before background music returns. Keep the volume clear, and avoid layering it over talking or loud gameplay, which would bury the pause cue.

Use Cases

✦ AI
  • Streamers play it when stepping away for a short break.
  • YouTubers use it to separate two segments in a video.
  • Podcasters drop it before a mid-episode ad break.
  • Editors add it over a looping BRB screen.
