EKT (Everyone Knows That/Ulterior Motives)

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.
