The marketing team at Mercedes-Benz deserves a raise! In the commercial for the car company's 2021 E-Class vehicle, the clip included a catchy song that you probably caught yourself humming along to. That tune is "Could Have Been Me" by The Struts, an English rock band from Derby.
The song is the perfect anthem for the "New Attitude" ad. While some are unenthused to get back to the morning grind, Mercedes E-Class customers are thrilled to head to work in the luxury vehicle — which has "advances to help make every drive safer, smoother, and more satisfying than ever before," according to the car's description.
As one woman in the ad prepares breakfast for her kids, she has a humdrum look on her face. "Don't wanna wake up on a Monday morning / The thought of work's getting my skin crawling," plays in the background. The entire tune is about living with no regrets, and because of that, Mercedes-Benz wants you to drive the car of your dreams.
Considering the song is the rebel yell for living life to the fullest — and honestly, just a bomb melody — it's not surprising that The Struts have been featured in other commercials throughout the years. It was previously used as the opening song for the 2016 video MLB The Show 16, as well as incorporated in the trailer for the video game series Ratchet & Clank.
