Which musical group performed “Teardrop,” the opening theme associated with House M.D.?

Massive Attack performed “Teardrop,” the song associated with House M.D.’s opening theme.

“Teardrop” was released by the English trip-hop group Massive Attack in 1998. The track features vocals by Elizabeth Fraser and became closely linked with the television series because of its distinctive opening sequence, which shows medical and anatomical imagery alongside the main cast credits.

The full song was not used identically in every broadcast and territory. The American opening commonly used an instrumental version, while some international broadcasts used different music or shortened arrangements. That variation is why viewers may remember the opening differently.

The track’s title is often confused with the name of the show’s theme or with the composer of incidental score music. Massive Attack is the performing group; Elizabeth Fraser provides the vocal performance. The song predates House M.D. by several years.
