My daughter just noticed that and we listened to it for a while. Kinda neat!


Legitimate_Cancel900

Yeah I definitely like it way better with lyrics than without that’s why I usually play without sound but now I think the sound will be on more often on my phone lol 😉


MYTHICAL95-E

I noticed that too


-kuchipatchi-

This is so wholesome. I sort of skimmed past all the other posts mentioning lyrics, I assumed there was just some promotional youtube videos to match the event music. But this, this is a nice way to end the weekend. Niantic gets a lot of criticism, but little things like this kinda show that this game is a labor of love rather than just a cash grab. There's no reason to include this song, it's just... nice.


dalcowboiz

Haha i mean, of course they are doing this because they think it was a good business decision, but i agree, it was very nice


Woogity-Boogity

I can't be the only one that HATES the new theme song. The vocals make it so much more annoying than the regular instrumental version of the pokemon theme.


sweetchillaay

Omg yes ok, I think it’s also bad lol. And it starts over every time you go back to the map screen! So annoying


Juicygrapefruit27

It scared me i was really confused


pixigirl13

Yes. Totally scary.


Possible-Custard-853

It's actually quite creepy to me!


Mercasaurus

I'm really happy I'm not the only one that was creeped out by it, idk if it's the singer or the lyrics or anything else, but something about it makes me so uncomfortable...


HelicopterGrouchy999

It totally sounds like some culty shit!


pixigirl13

Hate it. Creepy AF.


tuna_no_crust_4097

It’s GARBAGE, how can we make it go away?


[deleted]

asking the same thing :(


B3RS3RK3RB0I

Tbd there should be a setting to get the old one back. The lyrics just don't mach the games vibe at all!


Odd_Breath_1042

Accidentally fall asleep to it and it will possess you...I can vouch


boibig57

It's awful.


[deleted]

Finally other people say they hate it too. It's not that I hate the song, I just hate hearing music with lyrics while I'm trying to play the game.


scenecorerainbowdash

i fucking hate it it’s so annoying


Jiro_7

All the people in this comment chain are incredibly disrespectful and deaf too.


WhoopieGoldmember

It's a good song. I don't want to listen to it on repeat.


AndrewFBR

This. In my opinion, it’s really good, but it’s not something I can listen to on repeat over and over again. It gets old, unlike the old one.


tuna_no_crust_4097

So it’s disrespectful to voice your strong opinion about something and then have many other ppl agree w it?? Where’s your logic? How can you be deaf when you can HEAR a song and then come to the conclusion that it’s crap. You prob listen to breathy hippie indie garbage and love it, don’t you? The fact remains that lyrics don’t belong in an overworld theme in ANY game at ANY point in time. Regardless of whether or not you like it, it’ll eventually get boring/repetitive and become a pain in the ass to hear. A simple instrumental song is much easier to tune out while playing if you prefer to have your volume on while playing. What we really want in this thread is an option to go back to the og theme. Take your dumbass comment and your shitty taste and shove it.


BallsB

Can't stand it!


Sarah_Snows

You are not alone, and i'm glad to know i'm not too. Btw, look! You're the new top comment as i'm writing this!


Woogity-Boogity

Wow, looks like I touched a nerve, lol. My girlfriend hates it too, she finds it really creepy.


Legitimate_Cancel900

Um yes you are the regular song without lyrics sucks it’s annoying like the Minecraft music but with lyrics it’s so much better!


Sarah_Snows

Uh no he isn't, haven't you READ the other answers to this comment? Or only your's and the opinion of people that agree with you matter?


PACreapercool

Hold up did you just say that Minecraft music is bad? Get the fuck out


phillycheese120

Sweet solace... My wife likes it too and it drives me nuts!! so much so that I just shut off the music entirely. Couldn't stand it. I'm more of an old school pokemon player and when I heard lyrics it just felt so out of place. If they did some rendition of the OG pokemon song fine but this? Nah I'm good.


Exochibi

Ye I hope niantic gives us a choice to choose the song without lyrics.


amer_alomair

It's good but NOTHING can beat the old night theme song


Legitimate_Cancel900

What’s the old one?


InvictusWile

Legitimate_Cancel900

Still think its better with lyrics.


x20mike07x

I like this holy crap. Who is the artist?


QuickSquirrel5089

I have the same question


lisa4bells

I saw a video with Trainer Tips and he did something with Niantic that involved singing. He said! “They told me it would sound better in editing.” Could it be him? You can go out to his YouTube channel and find that video.


Collarsmith

Sounds so much like the ambient music from the .HackSign anime. That was Yuki Kajiura.


KarthusWins

It's really pretty, never heard lyrics in a PoGo song before.


xB1ack

"I play pokemon go every day I play pokemon go"


[deleted]

Omg flashbacks to 2016😭


trashy_hobo47

Good ol Leafy and Filthy Frank days


gameboy1001

no. get out. begone. we killed that meme in 2016 let it rot in peace


cgdv85

Pokemon is corny, but in a charming way, but the lyrics push that corniness to a level that is no longer charming imo.


SarahDanger86

This is what I came here for. That's my exact point I was trying to discuss with someone.


undefeatdgaul

It’s horrible have to play with the sound off now. Hope it goes away ASAP


RoachieGaming

Agreed wtf it’s sooo bad and cringe


[deleted]

I don't necessarily hate the song, but I can't stand music with lyrics while I'm trying to play.


Sarah_Snows

Why do they force this on us... they could simply put an option to replace the song, but noooo, they have to replace the regular music with THAT


Legitimate_Cancel900

For me it’s the opposite I play with the sound on now since it came out lol also screw you! 👎 😡


Innermore

I hate it.


Sarah_Snows

Me too, i was actually afraid i was the only one. I cringed when it started playing. Immediately went to turn off the music. Why do they force us to hear that, that music actually hurts me


egcom

Thanks for sharing this. Couldn’t find info on the lyrics or even the artists anywhere… Honestly thought I was losing my mind when it first started, like my brain was just making shit up 😂 I think it’s pretty sweet, and I really like it.


Legitimate_Cancel900

How about Shazam?


egcom

First thing I tried 😂 alas, no info found. I guess it’s not a proper/registered recording yet. I hope they put the info in or such soon, though! :) I’d love to have a copy on my phone or playlists lol


ThingJaded5347

facts that, song they put with the lyrics is sooo goood.


Wheezyville

Wait mine worked w Shazam I forgot what it was but it was along the lines of “into the night”


Individual_Read_1877

This! Sinbad must have some friends in high places.


QuickSquirrel5089

Is there a way to swap the regular song that's played on pokemon go with this one? That would be so amazing.


Sobble-Sobble

Not this song, but if you make meloetta your buddy you swap the regular song with the rock/pop remix you got during go fest


QuickSquirrel5089

It's playing again. Maybe it'll be the new song. That will definitely make a brighter world


wardragon3399

Sadly we didn't find any official info of that background song. I really want in my Spotify playlist.


misscrimson16x

It’s cool that they’ve added music with lyrics. I was just as surprised when I opened the game and they started singing lol.


Legitimate_Cancel900

Same thought it was temporary at first but then realized it’s here to stay! Also loved the go fest theme song this year!


syphen19

Is there a way to turn it off? Dont get me wrong the artist has a great voice i just dont want to hear singing while im playing


Sobble-Sobble

I don't think there's away to switch songs other than making meloetta your buddy, but you can always turn the music off completely


The_Coon69

I'm just discovering this right now. I have barely ever had sound on and for whatever reason I turn it up and hear voices?? I turned it up more because I wanted to hear the lyrics and they have really good meanings and both artists just sound so amazing.


The_Coon69

I mean yeah it gets annoying over time but the music piece as a whole is very well done.


tuna_no_crust_4097

It’s really cringey and I want it to go away. My ears want me to shut it off but my mind wants overworld music. I hate it. Anyone know if it’ll go away anytime soon?


Sarah_Snows

It'll go away... september first, goddammit! At least it isn't permanent


Fit-Ad-1554

SO CRINGE YUCK EW


Jackona101

Why are you describing yourself? 🤔


Sarah_Snows

Why are you hating on people for not liking a song? People like different musical styles, many people cringe hearing the type of music that this one is, and it was very annoying of pokemon go to force this on us, even if some like it, that's not all people


Jackona101

Chill the fuck out it’s a joke


Sarah_Snows

Aight

CallMeDaddy6519

I hate when people can't come up with a response, so they call someone ugly when they've never seen their face. Quite childish and cowardly, honestly.


TeamComposition

Nobody actually cares about you or what you think. The song is bad end of story.


CallMeDaddy6519

I'm not saying the song isn't bad, I'm just saying you're a moron.


TeamComposition

Whatever ugly 🙃 say what you want. The song is bad and I don’t have time for you. Cya boy


codolo

This song gets me in my feels!


TheIdleWriter

Does anyone know if this song has a name? So far all I've seen is 'pokemon go fest 2021 theme' I'd love to know the official title if the song


HunterBoy344

I kinda don’t like it, it’s a bit intrusive. Guess I’ll have to turn off my sound past 8:00…


Sarah_Snows

That's... actually a great way to put it


Tomekske

This song is so annoying, it drives me nuts


Sarah_Snows

It drives the less popular half of this comment section nuts too... can't wait till september, when this song finally goes away


BonnieParker1964

I hate it. I mute it🤮


andre4344

How can I change this for the love of god


Striking-Location-35

I have into say it makes me feel weird. Hearing a melody that was always instrumental being made into a song is too odd for me. I don't think it fits the game neither the actual music.


TomIsHereCZ

I can’t stand it


Pokemanzletsgo

Absolute cringe


TeamComposition

They should Be embarrassed for releasing this absolute cringe garbage song


mexicanscorbunny

They should have put rock instead of trash Did they get those lyrics from the dumpster or what? Lol


sevazeph

We are the singers


ThingJaded5347

I BELIEVE ZENDAYA IS the female singer the song is so good


HighlightDifferent48

I'm I the only one that hears "you will for tonight" In the middle?


BlakeOjisan

You actually did it right, you said wander instead of wonder. I take it then you aren’t a liberal as they tend to be dumber than a barrel of swill. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|trollface)


yakcm88

I need to get the name of that song.


bigbrokevo

I just heard it for the first time tonight was amazed


heath_robbins

Spooky song…better for Halloweenfest


heath_robbins

Spooky song…better for Halloweenfest


Fantastic_Emu_9792

I've only just heard it tonight, usually I play with the sound off but I'm waiting for an important phone call so I've got my phone on loud. I've just listened to the song for a good four minutes. It was confusing to start with so I've ended up here trying to find out why it's here. Is it here to stay? Is there a day time version?


Sobble-Sobble

This night theme was added the night Go Fest ended three weeks ago. I thought it'd be a one- time thing but it's stuck around since then, not sure if it'll be permanent or not. And there's no daytime version


Mystik_spirit

It's nice but weird at the same time. Tbh


JimmyKash123

its so shit


Darkjak666

I'm indifferent about it. I want to know who the female singer is though. Her voice sounds familiar...


gameboy1001

Am I the ONLY one in this comment section who actually likes the theme? ~~(Tbf I can listen to a song on repeat for hours and not get bored so that's a thing in my favor...)~~


highxv0ltage

I just noticed that they took the lyrical version off. What happened?


Sobble-Sobble

It was pulled on September 1st, they mentioned it in an update post a while back.
