"Ulterior Motives" is a pop song recorded by the British-Canadian filmmakers Christopher Saint Booth and Philip Adrian Booth around 1986.[4] It gained popularity online after a seventeen-second snippet of the song, at the time unidentified, was posted online in 2021. Derived from the previously debated lyrics of the snippet, the song was initially referred to as "Everyone Knows That" (often abbreviated as EKT) or "Ulterior Motives".[7][a]
The snippet was uploaded to the song identification website WatZatSong in 2021 by Spanish user carl92,[5][8] who claimed to have discovered the recording amongst files in an old DVD backup and speculated it was a leftover from when he was learning to record audio. Since it was uploaded, users searched for the full song and information regarding its origin and artist. In February 2024, The Guardian called it "one of the biggest and most enduring musical mysteries on the internet".[7]
On 28 April 2024, Reddit users identified the snippet's origin as being from the pornographic film Angels of Passion, in which the song was used. As of May 2024, it is not known whether the complete master tape for the song still exists; however, the Booth brothers are currently working on a remake of it, which will be released on their next album.[9][4]
