"Outro" is a song by French electronic music artists M83, released as the final track on the group's sixth studio album, Hurry Up, We're Dreaming (2011). It is a dramatic, symphonic rock song which has evoked "heartbreak, nostalgia, anticipation, jubilation and triumph".[1]
The song has been frequently used in a number of media, including commercials, movies, trailers (notably Cloud Atlas and Kerbal Space Program 2), and television shows. In 2015, it charted for several weeks in France.[2] By 2014, it had been so widely used that Christopher Rosen of the Huffington Post opined "Sorry, Everyone, It's Time To Retire M83's 'Outro'".[1]
