Some fans of HBO’s hit drama The White Lotus have been upset with the new season—but not for the reason you might think.
In the first two seasons of White Lotus, the theme songs were almost as popular as the show itself. Season 1’s theme, Aloha!, was more tropical, while season 2’s theme, Renaissance, sounds more regal and elegant, but both theme songs center around the same eerie vocal riff. Fans of the series were devastated when season 3’s theme song, Enlightenment, contained no vocals at all.

“The only thing America can agree on right now is that the White Lotus season 3 theme song is NOT it,” one user wrote on Twitter/X.
“They changed the White Lotus theme song?? Why doesn’t hbo just punch me in the f–king face next time instead,” another user posted. “the new white lotus theme song is [series creator] Mike White’s first miss,” yet another wrote.
However, not everyone hates it, with some even calling it an improvement on the originals.
“S3 theme song is so much better than 1 or 2 by FAR,” someone said. “The new White Lotus theme song grew on you huh? Yeah it did. Don’t lie. It kinda goes,” another person posted.
A musician even posted their own remix to the season 3 intro, which added the original vocal riff to the new season’s song.
The White Lotus airs Sundays on HBO at 9 PM.
