Leave it to Stranger Thingsto reach back into pop history and pull out a disco-era banger that still hits. Diana Ross' "Upside Down," which was written by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, is officially having its moment — again.
That's all thanks to the latest Stranger Things trailer hyping up Season 5 Vol. 2 that was released on Monday, December 15. The series finale will hit Netflix on December 25, and judging by the more than 5 million views that the trailer garnered in under half a day, we know how millions will be spending their Christmas Day.
After the trailer was shared, Rodgers weighed in on the renewed spotlight on the track, noting how surreal and gratifying it is to see a song that was released more than four decades ago connect with an entirely new generation.
Rodgers shared a video on Facebook with a caption that read, "@strangerthingstv is one of my fav shows. I’m #honored my song by @DianaRoss #upsidedown is in Stranger Things #cool music proud."
The legendary songwriter has long said that "Upside Down" was built to make people move, and its instantly recognizable groove proves that great pop music doesn't expire.
Don't be too surprised if "Upside Down" starts getting a lot more attention. After all, Stranger Things has the ability to catapult classic songs back into the stratosphere, even making them more popular now than when they were first released.
One example of the Stranger Things phenomenon is Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)," which became a pivotal part of Max Mayfield's (played by Sadie Sink) storyline.

The popularity of Bush's 1985 release earned her a cool $2.3 million in royalties in just the first month after it was played on Stranger Things and took the song straight back up many charts, earning it several number one spots all over again.
'80s pop star Tiffany also experienced a resurgence after her song, "I Think We're Alone Now," was featured in the Netflix hit series. Tiffany admitted she was "thrilled" after her song was used in Season 5 Vol. 1, which was released on Wednesday, Nov. 26.
After seeing other '80s hits get a new breath of life after a feature on Stranger Things, Rodgers has every reason to be excited.
