Nightcore is a song sped up so that the pitch rises with the tempo, the way a record does when it spins too fast. The name comes from a Norwegian duo who did this to trance tracks in the early 2000s. Sped-up versions on TikTok are the same trick.
The usual range is 20% to 30% faster. At 25%, a three-minute song lasts 2:24 and sits almost four semitones higher.
