The official music video for "Loser," Tame Impala's track from Deadbeat featured in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

The Tame Impala Song in Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened on July 31, 2026, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. The film has since grossed $2.513 billion worldwide.

"Loser" plays during a scene where Peter Parker shows up at a college party and runs into his old best friend, Ned, who doesn't even remember they used to be close. It's a small, sad moment. The song fits it perfectly.

"Loser" was released as the second single from Deadbeat on September 3, 2025, ahead of the full album on October 17, 2025. The song was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2026 APRA Music Awards.

Tame Impala in Captain America: Brave New World, Too

Spider-Man: Brand New Day isn't Tame Impala's only Marvel placement. His 2012 song "Elephant" plays during a training montage in Captain America: Brave New World (2025), backing an intense gym scene between Sam Wilson and Isaiah. Parker has said the song is about "the bully, the guy who thinks he's great, the jock," which made it a fitting pick for that moment in the film.

That's 2 Marvel films in 2 years.

Who Is Tame Impala?

Tame Impala isn't really a band. It's mostly one guy: Kevin Parker, from Perth, Australia. He started out around 2007 recording songs alone in his bedroom, playing every instrument himself, and slowly built it into one of the biggest names in modern music. Live, he tours with a full band. But almost everything you hear on record is just him.

Parker's early sound was fuzzy, psychedelic rock, the kind of music that sounded like it belonged in the 60s but with a modern twist. His first 2 albums, Innerspeaker (2010) and Lonerism (2012), built him a loyal underground following. Then in 2015, everything changed.

The Album That Turned Tame Impala Mainstream

Currents (2015) is the record that turned Tame Impala from an indie favorite into a mainstream force. It swapped some of the guitar fuzz for synths and grooves you could dance to, and it worked. That album is where most of his biggest songs live.

His follow-up, The Slow Rush (2020), kept the momentum going. Then in 2025, Deadbeat arrived, Parker's fifth studio album, inspired by bush doof culture and the Western Australia rave scene.

Tame Impala's Biggest Songs

Here are Tame Impala's 5 most-streamed songs on Spotify:

  1. "The Less I Know the Better": over 2 billion streams, the first Tame Impala song to hit that milestone
  2. "Borderline"
  3. "Let It Happen"
  4. "New Person, Same Old Mistakes"
  5. "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards"

Most of these came from Currents. "Borderline" arrived later on The Slow Rush (2020).

Worth Noting

"The Less I Know the Better" wasn't even the album's lead single. It crossed 2 billion Spotify streams in June 2025, the first Tame Impala song to reach that mark.

From bedroom recordings in Perth to 2 Marvel soundtracks, Tame Impala has come a long way, and he's still making music people can't stop streaming.
