All we do is hide away
All we do is all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is all we do is chase the day
All we do is lie and wait
All we do is all we do is lie and wait
All we do is feel the fade
All we do is all we do is feel the fade
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground
All we do is hide away
All we do is all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is all we do is chase the day
All we do is play it safe
All we do is live inside a cage
All we do is play it safe
All we do all we do
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground
I’ve been upside down
I don’t wanna be the right way round
Can’t find paradise on the ground
All we do is hide away
All we do is all we do is hide away
All we do is chase the day
All we do is all we do is chase the day
All I did was fail today
All I wanna be is whites in waves
All I did was fail today
All we do all we do

Behind the Music: Meaning & Story
The Unforgotten theme song features the haunting track “All We Do” by the alt-pop duo Oh Wonder. Its melancholy tone perfectly underscores the ITV drama’s focus on historical cold cases and the emotional toll they take on both the detectives and the families involved.
While Michael Price composed the score for the series, the choice of “All We Do” provides an immediate sense of gravity. The lyrics about “hiding away” and “living inside a cage” mirror the secrets that the suspects in each series have kept buried for decades. The “upside down” sentiment reflects the disruption of lives when the past finally catches up to the present.
Created by Chris Lang, the show relies on this atmospheric music to bridge the gap between the tragic discovery of remains and the slow, methodical uncovering of the truth. Since 2015, the song has become inseparable from the image of DCI Cassie Stuart and DI Sunny Khan as they sift through the remnants of forgotten lives.
