In 2021, a user known as "Carl92" uploaded a 17 second snippet on the website "watzatsong.com" (a website used for identifying songs through community efforts and interactions), later to be dubbed as "Everyone Knows That".
It gained widespread attraction after futile attempts to try and find it, making it a famous part of lost media. Around the internet, it is commonly associated with a picture of a pink boombox on a lush, pink carpet-like surface. However, this image has nothing to do with the song and is only a placeholder.
The song features an 80s style music progression in low quality, with a catching set of lyrics. It has developed a community determined to find it on reddit (r/everyoneknowsthat) with over 10K members, as well as many Discord communities filled with both fans and investigators.
The most commonly accepted lyrics of this snippet are:
"You're counting all the sheep in the sky,
Caught up in your world of lies,
Everyone knows that you've got,
Ulterior motives (Tell me the truth)
Every move shows-" (Audio cuts out from here)
It has been covered widely in videos by various YouTubers, uploading known details about the snippet, as well as "Carl92" who mysteriously disappeared days after uploading the song. It has also gained attention on platforms such as TikTok.
The origin of the singer and the full song remains a mystery to this day.

Get the Gender-Motivemug. Motive, commonly used in British slang amongst poorer classes. Motive, a social gathering where people from the surrounding areas meet up smoke, drink etc. These people will socialise, listen to music and go home late at night. A motive can start at 6pm and last till 12pm.
Motives will usually take place on Fridays sometimes Saturdays and are very popular. Motives consist of anything from 50-200 people plus. Usually everyone attending is of the lower class and everyone fits in. A great way to bring a community together. Would recommend my local motives 👍. Dangerous people can go to a motive so don’t square up just ignore them.
