Elementfour (variants Element Four and Element 4) was a music producing duo made up of DJ Paul Oakenfold and musician/composer Andy Gray. Sometime before July 2000, they collaborated in writing and producing the opening theme for the Channel 4 reality series Big Brother.{{cite web|url=https://www.discogs.com/ElementFour-Big-Brother-UK-TV-Theme/release/82473|title=ElementFour* - Big Brother UK TV Theme|website=Discogs|access-date=17 December 2018}} The theme, which was later released as a single, continued to be used when Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother moved to Channel 5 from 18 August 2011 until the show was axed and ended on 5 November 2018. A sample from the track was used again in 2022 to promote the upcoming 2023 series on ITV2.{{Citation |title=Coming 2023… {{!}} ITV2 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWZrTHkUu5c |language=en |access-date=2022-08-04}}
