Gypsy by Fleetwood Mac Intro

"Gypsy" is a song written by Stevie Nicks and recorded by Fleetwood Mac, released on August 18, 1982, as the second single from the band's thirteenth studio album Mirage. The track peaked at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number one on US contemporary hit radio charts. Its opening instrumental passage, a gentle melodic guitar figure that builds slowly before Nicks' vocal entry, became a recurring sound on TikTok and Instagram Reels, used primarily as an atmospheric intro for b-roll lifestyle montages including try-on hauls, travel clips, and day-in-the-life content. This usage reflects a broader pattern on both platforms in which the opening bars of classic-rock tracks are isolated as mood-setting audio for short-form video, a pattern Fleetwood Mac content has followed repeatedly since "Dreams" went viral via a skateboarding video in October 2020. No single creator or post has been identified as the definitive origin of the "Gypsy" intro trend specifically.
