Which band performs the song “Teardrop,” associated with House M.D.?

Massive Attack performs “Teardrop,” the song associated with House M.D.’s opening titles. The track was released by the English trip-hop group in 1998 and features vocals by Elizabeth Fraser.

In the original American broadcast version of House, “Teardrop” accompanied the opening title sequence. Its distinctive vocal and electronic arrangement became strongly identified with the program, even though some international broadcasts and later versions used different music.

The song appeared on Massive Attack’s third studio album, Mezzanine. Its use helped connect the show’s medical imagery with a moody, atmospheric sound, including title visuals built around anatomical and scientific motifs.

A common mix-up is naming Elizabeth Fraser as the performer. Fraser sings the vocal, but Massive Attack is the credited recording artist. Another source of confusion is that licensing changes meant not every broadcast version used the same opening theme.
