Sub Urban's "Cradles" arrived on January 4, 2019, through NoCopyrightSounds, the American singer's debut, and TikTok did the rest. The track went viral there, the original upload blew past 100 million YouTube views, and once it had topped Billboard's alternative charts, Warner Records signed him. The win landed closer to home, too: it brought his family around to his choice to drop out of high school for music.
Andrew Donoho directed the video, released October 9, 2019, a fever dream of a burning bedroom, flat single-color rooms full of masked corpses, mannequins dancing behind curtains and a narrow metal bridge. The song has since picked up a second life in games, landing in Just Dance 2024 Edition and, through a NoCopyrightSounds collaboration, in Geometry Dash.
