Catchy Song is a collaborative effort by American DJ and producer Dillon Francis, featuring contributions from rappers T-Pain and That Girl Lay Lay. This track was created as the primary theme for the 2019 Warner Bros. Pictures release The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, with lyrics penned by Jon Lajoie and production handled by Francis.
The song is distinguished by its repetitive refrain, "This song's gonna get stuck inside your... (×3) ...head!"—an intentionally catchy phrase emphasized throughout the film.
Production
Following the popularity of "Everything Is Awesome" from the original The Lego Movie, the creators of the sequel aimed to develop an even more unforgettable tune. According to writer Jon Lajoie, "Everything Is Awesome" was "annoyingly catchy," and with this new piece, he intended to "turn up the 'annoying' factor to eleven." The chorus is delivered by T-Pain, while That Girl Lay Lay performs the verses as well as a portion of the concluding chorus.
Use in film
Within The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part, this song plays a significant role during a scene where nearly all characters are subjected to it, with Lucy being the sole character who refrains from dancing. The inhabitants of Harmony Town sing it to Emmet and Rex. To avoid being "brainwashed," Lucy/Wildstyle disables a speaker, crafts earmuffs from its components, and escapes through air vents; Emmet and Rex follow a similar route to evade the influence.
A brief sample of the track appears in the reprise titled "Everything's Not Awesome," where Lucy declares it will "get stuck inside your heart," representing hope to overcome Rex and reestablish peace.
Additionally, the full song is featured during the initial segment of the closing credits.
