"Un Owen Was Her" is a piece of music that gained popularity within the Touhou Project, a series of Japanese bullet hell shooter video games created by Team Shanghai Alice. The song is actually a remix of a theme called "U.N. Owen was her?" composed by ZUN (Jun'ya Ōta), the creator of the Touhou Project.
The title "U.N. Owen was her?" is a play on words, as it sounds like "unknown," but when spoken quickly, it resembles "U.N. Owen was her." This is a reference to Agatha Christie's novel "And Then There Were None," where U.N. Owen is a pseudonym for an unknown character orchestrating events.
The popularity of "Un Owen Was Her" has led to various remixes and arrangements by fans worldwide, showcasing the influence of the Touhou Project on music beyond its original context in video games.
