Best Answer

In radio usage, the "intro" is the instrumental portion of a song before the vocals begin (you know - the part that DJs annoyingly talk over).

If the DJ is still talking when the vocalist starts singing, he's said to have "stepped on the intro."

If the song has no opening instrumental phrase and starts right off with vocals, it is said to have a "cold intro."

The general purpose of the introduction part of a song is without lyrical value, add suspense to the listener. This suspense aims to excite the listener as to what is to come.
