It's called a 'tag'.

And it's basically from the songwriting 101 book. Not sure why this is a thread tbh.

A lot of songs, maybe even most, repeat some part of the intro, but they switch it up somehow, adding extra instruments, maybe varying the intro notes, shifting key, etc.. I'm interested in examples of songs where that part sounds exactly like the intro.

i noticed the other day that Rent by Pet Shop Boys has an instrumental intro that goes here's-a-bit-of-the-bridge-now-here's-a-bit-of-the-verse before the singing starts. i'm sure many songs do it but i hadn't noticed it before.
