Thanks. Sorry that's all I have. I don't remember its origin. I rediscover this sample between a bunch of very old files in a DVD backup. Probably I was simply learning how to capture audio and this was a left over. The thing is it sounds somewhat familiar to me (or maybe I'm mistaken with a similar song) and I though it wasn't going to be a too obscure one. I tried in www.aha-music.com, and also tried searching the lyrics but my english is not good enough for that, I only understand something like: "everyone knows that, you can't [...] tell me the truth"

It could be from the 90s but not from the 00s because the file itself is from 1999 (date in the filesystem). To me it sounds typical 80s but I'm not an expert.

Here is the possible lyrics on the song but unfortunaley this doesn't lead to anywhere

You can't only shoot in the stars,
Colors in the world are bright,
Everyone knows that, you've got, ulterior motives,
TELL ME THE TRUTH,
Everyone should know...

Oh, thank you very much for the lyrics! I think not being able to understand them was going the biggest frustration for me (it remind me how hard were sometimes listening exercises in English classes in high school, haha). In the past I had success searching lyrics but it seems this isn't the case here indeed. So now I think this song probably isn't going to be identified, but it's OK, I'm not obsessed with it or something like that. To me it sounded like a typical popular 80s song and I was curious. I insist on the 80s because, in particular, the clap like sound on 3rd second remind me of two mid 80s songs: Billy Idol's "Eyes Without a Face" and John Farnham's "You're the Voice". Anyway, thanks again.

I'm from Spain. It sounds like a typical pop song so I would say almost any station could have aired it... But they usually play hits, popular music, and it seems this is an obscure song, so who knows. On the other hand, I can't say for sure it was recorded from radio because I don't remember its origin, sorry.

it's a very commercial sounding song, so my guess it's a song from spain or elsewhere that was a small hit or a song that was played but never got any chart action. idk what your connections are but try asking some radio DJs from spain who wouldve worked in the 80s or 90s, especially if their station played songs that weren't just the huge hits.

I don't know why, but sometimes I listen to this song, and I think it might be a Japanese song, because of the way the singer sings, the voice, and the way the first verse sounds, but I don't know exactly...

this is not from a cassette, definitely a recording off TV (not a VHS or anything playing in an NTSC country) as it contains a 15.734 kHz pilot tone only present in MTS broadcasts exclusive to a selected few countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multichannel_Television_Sound

THIS IS BIG!! So we now know that the song might have been played by MTV or some other music video channel. As OP stated in another comment, he may have recorded this while learning how to capture digital audio in 1999, and honestly this makes much more sense now: the recording sounds exactly like a computer microphone pointed at a speaker. But there's a catch: not only could be this a song that played on MTV/some other channel, but rather just an ad/commercial, which could make the search way more difficult...
