"In the Shadows" is a song by Finnish alternative rock band the Rasmus, included on the group's fifth studio album Dead Letters.

Released in Finland in January 2003, the single achieved considerable chart success throughout Europe and Oceania, including the United Kingdom, where it reached No.

[1] The chorus is based on the "millennial whoop" vocal pattern, and is considered the earliest XXI century example of this tool in popular music.

A new version of the song, co-written by and featuring Ukrainian rap group Kalush Orchestra, is accompanied by a music video.

[3] Widely known as Bandit Version, directed in Helsinki on 13 December 2002,[4] shows the Rasmus performing on a stage that resembles a helipad, and are in the process of stealing from a bank when the police arrive unexpectedly.

Lauri Ylönen is almost caught, but manages to grab onto the safe-door, which is being dragged behind the tow-car that the group uses for the robbery, and goes skidding down the road.

The maid sees (lead singer) Lauri and the concert in mirrors on the walls, which causes her to become distracted, making mistakes and dropping trays.
