"Cinema" is a song initially released by Italian DJ and electro house music producer

Congo Rock. The Skrillex remix went on to become a hit in its own right, remaining on Billboard's Dance chart for over two years after its release and winning a 2012 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording. Artist and producer Kanye West referred to it as "one of the greatest works of art ever made". The song featured in the trailer for the video game Sonic Lost World and in-games Forza Horizon and Beat Fever, as well as soundtracking promos for the WWE Network. The song has been streamed over a billion times online across streaming platforms (YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music). The song was further re-imagined by Gary Go on his soundtrack EP Now Was Once the Future and again by electronic dance music duo Galantis
in 2020.

In late 2020-early 2021, a solo acoustic version of the song by Gary Go went viral on TikTok and Instagram, appearing in more than 50,000 videos as of March 6, 2022. A mashup with "The Veldt" by deadmau5 also went viral, with over 25 million impressions on Instagram alone.
