The Numberblocks Theme Song is the official song heard at the beginning of each Numberblocks episode.
Layout[]
The first part depicts Numberblocks 1-5 falling from the sky as their names are mentioned, running on the ground and then jumping up saying "Numberblocks!" in sync with the song.
The second part is a night sky, where in the old version, Numberblocks 1-5 jump up in the sky and back one at a time as their names are said. In the new version, Numberblocks 6-10 rise up to the sky as their names are said, and stay there floating in a line saying "Numberblocks!" in sync with the song.
One pops up with a close up of her eye before zooming out, transitioning to the third part which shows an example of addition, where One adds with another one to make Two, who adds with another one to make Three, who juggles and tosses her juggling balls into the sky, transitioning to the fourth part where Numberblocks 1-5 free-fall from the sky in backwards order, before rearranging to the correct order and landing back on the ground, saying "You can count on us, we're the Numberblocks!". During this, One jumps up and turns into the Numberblocks logo.
Every Numberblock is in their default arrangements in the theme song (One being in her only arrangement, the primes and Ten standing one block wide, Six and Eight standing two blocks wide, and Four and Nine being squares.)
The Land of the Giants version of the theme song is the exact same layout but it ends with the free-fall scene, and has 10-50 imitating what 1-5 from the original intro do. Because Thirty's large juggling balls are not a permanent part of her design like Three's juggling balls are, Thirty instead tosses her hat at the screen like a frisbee before the song transitions to the free-fall part.
This version of the Theme Song is the first version, and is only seen in episodes that are Red Level One where the largest possible Numberblock to appear is Five. It is seen throughout the entirety of Series 1, as well as the first five episodes of Series 3. It was never used again after Zero, as every episode after it is in a higher level, with Numberblocks bigger than Five appearing in all of them. It oddly isn’t used in Feeding Time and On My Way to Numberblock Fair despite nobody bigger than Five appearing. A most possible reason why the former uses the updated intro is due to the consistency of episodes. In the Irish dub, the “you can count on us” is reanimated for the 2021 standards.
One and another one is two
And another one is...
Three: Me!
That's three
Five, four, three, two, one
It's time for some number fun
You can count on us,
We're the Numberblocks!

This updated version of the theme song plays when an episode has Numberblocks larger than Five, meaning that the episodes are in every other level that's higher than Red Level One. The most obvious difference is that the second "one, two, three, four, five" said in the theme song is replaced with "six, seven, eight, nine, ten" so that it can feature the said numbers in the theme song. Interestingly, despite Numberblocks larger than Ten appearing in episodes, this version of the theme song is still used, likely because they didn't want to include too many characters in the theme song without replacing key parts of the song or adding another verse to the song.
This version of the theme song occurs the most, occurring in 130 episodes during the show's run (two of them being Feeding Time and On My Way to Numberblock Fair, even though none of the characters bigger than Five appeared in them).

This version of the theme song was originally intended to the intro for Series 5, it is unknown why it was scrapped but it was likely do to brand recognition. It played out the same as the original one, it has One-Five sing the last part and it has updated visuals such as a new logo, better quality, recolouring, etc. It was still used in the Irish theme song, the intro of the drawing Numberblock _____ videos, and in the Christmas theme song (with Christmas accessories of course). It is currently only partially found without Christmas accessories.

This version of the theme song only occurs in Land of the Giants, where everything gets ramped up to ten. It is a version of the 1-5 theme song, but with 10-50 instead. Interestingly, the "you can count on us, we're the Numberblocks!" part doesn't play since it cuts off by glitching before it could. It's likely either to save time, or because they didn't want to make a version of the Numberblocks logo with Ten replacing One, since they wouldn't know how to do so.
Despite this theme song being based on the 1-5 intro, the real theme song used before the beginning of Land of the Giants is the 6-10 theme song due to numbers bigger than Five being present.
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty
Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty
Ten and another ten is twenty
And another ten is...
Thirty: Me!
That's thirty
Fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, ten
Numberblocks, start again

Trivia[]
- Even though Eight's mask colour and Five’s body colour changed in Series 3, the intro remains untouched, creating some inconsistency with the actual episodes.
- The thumbnail for Land of the Giants on BBC iPlayer uses the 10-50 part of the episode's intro.
- Since Series 6, the BBC logo was added to the top of the logo at the end of the intro, the second “Numberblocks” is replaced with the one from the old intro, and the blue background is slightly darker.
