The scenes of this opening are truly amazing too, not just the music, and it brings many of the topics of the show. At first glance, it's just a beautiful paperwall with tropical motifs. But, if you look closer, you start to see that everything is not that refreshing and laidback: the fruit and the flowers start to get rotten, the chameleon changes its color, ths fish gets stuck into the jellyfish tentacles, snakes appear among the leaves, the catterpillars start hijacking the the plants, the once ruling leopard now lies unconscious of what goes around and stormy clouds appear in the horizon. In conclusion, it's just a metaphor about how we people interact with money, wealth and social inequality: relationships go sour, people show their true facade, we get tangled into unfulfilling promisses, the less favoured prey in the other ones... And, above everything, the white lotus, the buddist symbol of enlightenment, remebering us a simple leason: do not get lost in such petty things.

Haha I watched it mainly cause I saw the actor for Lenny (Legion) in the season 2 tease on HBO's "coming soon" trailer (I couldn't think of the actor's name, her name is Aubrey Plaza). Didn't think I'd find it so funny!! Google defined it as a comedy-drama, which is much more accurate than comedy-subtle-horror.

Love it!!

Then the show dashed in a little bit of comedy just to keep you on your toes plus add the mesmerizing and hypnotic visuals of the introduction, I was hooked! lol!

@@ruchellecullen4265 The second season is. The first season was in Hawaii.
The scenes of this opening are truly amazing too, not just the music, and it brings many of the topics of the show. At first glance, it's just a beautiful paperwall with tropical motifs. But, if you look closer, you start to see that everything is not that refreshing and laidback: the fruit and the flowers start to get rotten, the chameleon changes its color, ths fish gets stuck into the jellyfish tentacles, snakes appear among the leaves, the catterpillars start hijacking the the plants, the once ruling leopard now lies unconscious of what goes around and stormy clouds appear in the horizon. In conclusion, it's just a metaphor about how we people interact with money, wealth and social inequality: relationships go sour, people show their true facade, we get tangled into unfulfilling promisses, the less favoured prey in the other ones... And, above everything, the white lotus, the buddist symbol of enlightenment, remebering us a simple leason: do not get lost in such petty things.

Interesting thoughts about the wallpaper. When I first saw it, I thought the style was similar to chinoiserie-this western interpretation of now "Hawaiian" culture.

not really sure your statement is fact more of an opinion. I recently went to Honolulu and stayed at Disneys aluani with my spouse and our 3 children for 10 days. we went with patience and kindness to everyone including the staff. we enjoyed our stay with no issues. I have learned that with traveling with or without kids requires a lot of patience and knowing not everything is going to go my way. dont over hyping a vacation will cause chaos.

Haha I watched it mainly cause I saw the actor for Lenny (Legion) in the season 2 tease on HBO's "coming soon" trailer (I couldn't think of the actor's name, her name is Aubrey Plaza). Didn't think I'd find it so funny!! Google defined it as a comedy-drama, which is much more accurate than comedy-subtle-horror.

I like when images in the intro foreshadow the plot. The monkey with the flower for Jennifer Coolidge, the snake for Sydney, and BEST of all the two nuts for Steve Zahn
This song is so elegant and savage. It's like rich ladies and gentlemen in high heels and suits fighting in the savannah like animals.
The music in White Lotus is one of the most captivating parts of the show for me. What an incredible soundtrack
There's a separate fanbase for this intro.
Knew this would win an Emmy the moment I heard it. Good stuff. Can't wait for season two.
You can definitely feel the Utopia vibes. This is second show with De Veer music I watched and didn’t skip any intro in every single episode. Another one is Succession - also amazing opening theme you can't skip.
I was addicted to the opening credits music, too, combined with the visuals and the pace that they intermingled. It's so tropical and mysterious and I love the way the camera moves in, in line with the musical beats and then focuses on wallpaper details and then the wallpaper bleeds and spreads at just the right moment. Love it!!
I usually always "skip" opening credits when binging shows but this was the only show I actually let play through at the beginning of the show just so I could hear this captivating music. I love it. It's so different!
What a beautiful entrance curtain to the show, the images and the music ... and that tune that you can't get out of your head!
More like this please, HBO. Show, music, everything.
This is balanced in a way that represents the show so well, the juxtaposition of the tropical beat and chorus with a feeling that is unsettling and uneasy. It uses the dies irae to invoke a feeling that death is looming. Just a beautiful and artistic show and a perfectly aligned beautiful and artistic theme
This just won Outstanding Main Title Music at the Emmys! Well deserved

I find this one to be so much better than the one for season2. The drums/beat really makes it for me.
This is the best ever music… so tribal and pulsating. I just about go into a trance every time I hear it.
I am in love with this music! I loved the juxtaposition of the images. I think the animals / flowers / fruits were directly associated with how the characters the actors play in the show were. That was VERY intelligent!
It's funny that the wallpaper for Steve Zahn somewhat resembles a pair of testicles considering his original fear in the first episode.

Love this tune, when I heard this I knew this show was going to be good. Unsettling, and gets the point across that everything is not as it seems. When money, status, and power come into play, our monkey brains go back to competition and being the top of the food chain at any cost.

Probably unpopular opinion but the season 1 theme is miles better than the second. The minor key and the haunting vocalisations just convey the eerieness and air of mystery of the show far more effectively
Love this show as much as I love the music. Brilliant.
It has been stuck in my head for weeks now !!! 🙈
Same guy that did Utopia (UK version) and I could instantly tell. You should all watch that show too, soundtrack is great and the show itself is equally as good.

0:44 is when it REALLY starts to hit 😌
I mean... Sydney Sweeney, Jennifer Coolidge, Murray Bartlett?! They are all great, but who could say that this first season would have such a strong magnetic field around their characters? Definitely my favorite season.
Cristobal…well done bruh… the up and coming John Williams of gen Z. Love the combo of flute, drum, voice….
From the intro music itself it felt like it was gonna be a horror / suspense show just like LOST but then I thought of the LOTUS eaters from the illiad which kept Odyseuss and his men in a state of forgetfulness, which in hindsight the people who checked into the hotel actually wanted to forget their problems and issues and put up a farce just for the sake and pursuit of their perfect "vacation".. Then the show dashed in a little bit of comedy just to keep you on your toes plus add the mesmerizing and hypnotic visuals of the introduction, I was hooked! lol!
Cristobal truly deserved those two Emmys! Congratulations for this amazing music!
Came back to hear this intro and it's still a masterpiece 👌
The whole season 1 soundtrack is sublime
Husband and I just caught up with both seasons and this theme song in imbedded in our heads. You will catch us randomly just homing the beat and it never fails to give us a kick. Love this crazy show !!
Iconic bop always goes just as hard as the first time I’ve ever heard it
Such a great theme. I can’t help but try sing along 😂

this kind of art style is toile de jouy. a kind of french wallpaper design that was most popular during the colonial period which was known for depicting idealised scenes of what life should look like - I just really liked this choice I think it set the tone for the whole show well
