2020 Honda TV Ad

[LunarOne]

I'm trying to find out the name of a piece of electronic music used in a Honda TV ad that I've just heard on Sky News. I don't actually ever watch TV myself so I can't tell you what happens in the ad. I just use a computer in the study around the corner from the TV. But the part that interests me are the four electronic notes that sound quite M83-esque) right at the end of the ad. I don't know what car or cars it might be advertising because by the time I hear the four notes, jump up and get to the TV, the screen is showing the words "Honda The Power of Dreams" and the ad ends. Searching Honda's website and Youtube for current campaigns turns up nothing. I don't have any kind of replay device or a PVR.

Anyone have any idea what the ad might be for, where I can find the ad online or better still can you name the piece of music used? Thanks!!

I asked a friend of mine who works for the marketing department at Honda and he said that there are currently two campaigns on the TV at the moment. One is for the Jazz and the other is for the CRV. However, he suggested that the track you could be looking for is Girlhood by Papa One.

Hopefully, this is the track you're after.

Thanks for this - however I can't seem to find any band or artist called Papa One, or a track with a similar name. I'll keep hunting.

Girlhood - Para One?

Thanks - I'm very surprised google didn't suggest that track. But anyway it's not the one I'm looking for...

It's not that either! I've only heard the ending but it's very electronic.

Not sure if it is the one on Sky News (had to search YouTube for Honda Advert 2020) but was it?:

Sounds fairly electronically

Is that how you found it? I tried searching youtube with the same terms and just found american ads that have totally different music. But how did you find the name of the track?

Yay! Glad I could help...

Scott W mentioned there was a Jazz ad in existence, when typing in what I did I found what looked like a similar Polish advert (this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iedj5fDBPp4).

The background music (sort of) fitted the notes earlier.

-1- Honda Advert
-2- Featured the Jazz
-3- Electronic Music Genre (like M83)

Someone in the comments of the YouTube video mentioned what the music was so I took a chance that hopefully it was the advert you saw (at least the last 4 seconds of it anyway).

Thank you again - there's something I find intoxicating about that music and now I can enjoy it at my leisure!
