Originally released in 2011 by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen, the piece achieved commercial success in the United States and subsequently became a massive hit in other countries as well.
In the music video, Carly cutely shows her efforts to catch the attention of a lean, handsome guy she falls for at first sight, trying all sorts of tactics to win him over.
OctaneAtomic Drum Assembly
The commercial titled “Apple News Flash,” which conveys the appeal of products newly announced at Apple’s September 2023 event.
It showcases the strengths of three products—iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15, and Apple Watch Series 9—alongside stylish, slideshow-like visuals.
The background music is “Octane” by Atomic Drum Assembly.
Despite its electronic sound, the track features a somewhat folk-inspired beat that makes it irresistibly catchy.

This is a commercial introducing the convenient features of Google’s AI smartphone, the Google Pixel 8.
It focuses on the comfortable user experience enabled by AI support, depicting how AI enhancements make photos, audio, and more enjoyable.
The song used is “Zoom,” whose rhythm-forward sound conveys a steadily rising sense of excitement.
Please Don’t GoKC and The Sunshine Band
In the Galaxy Z Fold5 commercial titled “Carry the Big Screen,” it highlights how you can powerfully handle both play and work—continuing a game you were playing on the TV on the Galaxy Z Fold5, or picking up work you were doing on a computer on the Galaxy Z Fold5.
In the ad, there’s a visual gag that matches the lyrics of the background song “Please Don’t Go,” making it look like the TV and computer are pleading, “Don’t go!” Also, the version used in the commercial is a cover, and its vibe is quite different from the original track by KC & The Sunshine Band.
C.O.S.M.I.C LoveKawaguchi Yurina
Yurina Kawaguchi, who is active as a model, actress, and singer, appears in the commercial “Smartphone Debate – Both” for the foldable smartphone Galaxy Z Flip4.
Kawaguchi also performs the CM song, with her track “C.O.S.M.I.C Love,” released digitally in July 2023, being featured.
The lyrics are entirely in Korean, and the retro-pop melody line, which evokes a hint of nostalgia, sticks in your ears.
Kawaguchi’s cute vocals match perfectly, making it a number that naturally gets your body moving to the rhythm.
Don’t Cha ft. Busta RhymesThe Pussycat Dolls
In the Galaxy Z Flip5 commercial titled “Now, Toward Freedom,” it’s highlighted that “With the Galaxy Z Flip5, you can even do things like this!!,” showcasing capabilities that weren’t possible with previous smartphones.
The stylish visuals are accompanied by a high-sense BGM: an arranged version of “Don’t Cha ft.
Busta Rhymes” by The Pussycat Dolls.
The mood differs greatly from the original track, giving a more refined impression.
mabatakiVaundy
Among NTT Docomo’s commercials, the Youth Support Movie series is especially popular.
In the version released in the summer of 2023, each person answers the question, “What did you leave undone in your high school life during the COVID-19 pandemic?” by naming something they wanted to do but couldn’t—and then they go and do it.
The smiles of the young people featured are dazzling, and every scene in the ad radiates pure youth.
It’s a commercial that warms your heart just by watching it.
The BGM features singer-songwriter Vaundy’s “mabataki.” The lyrics, which calmly speak of a world full of compassion, are striking and deeply moving.
