Well, it's in our head again. And it's about to be in yours too (sorry!).

The music from The White Lotus opening credits is likely the catchiest score we've heard in a long time, but it's also chaotic, anxiety-inducing, and highly tense — much like the HBO show.

Cristobal Tapia de Veer’s score heightens the stress and tension throughout the series, created, written, and directed by Mike White. And here in an opening credits sequence designed by Mark Bashore and Katrina Crawford of Plains of Yonder, you can relive it.

ICYMI, The White Lotus tells the story of a group of privileged holiday-makers at a luxury resort in Hawaii. At the outset of episode 1, we learn that someone dies at the hotel — but who, how, and when all remain a mystery.

That nugget of info is the perfect snare to draw us in, as we watch how events unfold at this chaotic hotel full of, honestly, obnoxious humans on their very worst behaviour.

If you're in search of something to set your pulse racing, well...you're in luck.

The White Lotus is streaming on HBO in the U.S. and on Now TV in the UK.
