Backstory
On December 22nd, 2018, a user who went by the name Gabor72 posted the song on WatZatSong asking people if they could name the song. Five years later, on December 9th, 2023, a subreddit for the song called r/NowIKnowItsJustAGame was made to track down the song and the artist's identity.
On March 2nd, 2024, it was discovered that the file posted to WatZatSong turned out to be slightly slowed down than the original version of the song. Two months later, on May 5th, 2024, a Reddit user posted what is believed to be the best possible lead yet found, however, this leader was later debunked.
A day later, on May 6th, 2024, Gabor72 was discovered to have passed away. On May 12th, 2024, a Reddit user in contact with Gabor’s daughter claimed that Gabor didn’t own any vinyls and that the snippet might have instead come from an Italian radio station between 1985 and 1996. Per the words of his daughter, Gabor was an avid fan of Italian music.

-oh.
And now I know, it's just a game
I don't need the rules to play
Maybe it's happy, maybe it's sad
But you can't choose the way to play
And now I know, it's just a game
I don't need the rules to play
Maybe it's happy, maybe it's sad
But you can't choose the way to play-
