Which song served as House M.D.’s main opening theme?

“Teardrop” served as the main opening theme for House M.D. in its original broadcast presentation.

The song was recorded by the British trip-hop group Massive Attack and released on the group’s 1998 album Mezzanine. Its distinctive harpsichord-like pulse, electronic production, and Elizabeth Fraser’s vocal gave the series opening a recognizable atmosphere.

The opening sequence combined medical imagery with images of the principal cast and the title card. In the United States, the broadcast version used an edited presentation of “Teardrop.” International broadcasts and later versions sometimes used different music or altered opening sequences because of licensing and distribution arrangements.

Viewers sometimes answer “Massive Attack,” but that is the performing group, not the song title. The precise answer to the theme question is “Teardrop,” while Massive Attack is the artist associated with the recording.
