A piece of music is being played diegetically (that is, it's in the scene, played on someone's radio or otherwise). As the scene fades out, the music shifts to a non-diegetic version of... the same song that was just playing.
See Interscene Diegetic for when the music continues through the second scene but does not shift to a non-diegetic version. Of course, the switch can be from non-diegetic to diegetic, as well.
The inverse is Left the Background Music On, where music that the audience assumes is non-diegetic is revealed to be diegetic, often for a comic effect.

Kyosuke's violin-playing in episode 5 of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Interestingly, when the music starts, only the violin (actually, a viola) is heard; when Kyosuke stops playing and the switch occurs, the track continues into a full orchestra.

A scene in A Hard Day's Night has the Beatles playing cards in an isolated part of the train while schoolgirls watch them. "I Should Have Known Better" begins to play, and as the singing is heard, Paul starts lip-synching. Next thing you see are the Beatles already playing with their instruments to the rest of the song until their card game's over.

In Channel Awesome's Massive Multiplayer Crossover review of Southland Tales, Linkara travels back in time, opens the door to the room where the reviewers are talking about the movie... and starts singing a song by The Killers which plays in the movie. Everyone follows, and soon it's the original song playing over lip-synching reviewers.

Chuck:
In "Chuck vs. the Best Friend", Jeff and Lester ("Jeffster") are performing a Hollywood Tone-Deaf cover of Toto's "Africa". We then see an important moment between two other characters, and suddenly instead of hearing Lester we're hearing Toto, being played as background music.
Done again in "Chuck vs. the Ring", in which it transitions from the Jeffster! (and backing string quartet) version of "Mr. Roboto" to a version orchestrated by the house composer, to the original Styx version, back to Jeffster.
Non-Jeffster example: the use of "Don't Look Back in Anger" in "Chuck vs. the Alma Mater"
Another non-Jeffster example: Chuck psyching Morgan up by humming The Imperial March, inspiring Morgan to join in. Cut to Morgan opening up a pair of doors, with the full Imperial March blaring in the soundtrack.

A variation of this in The Sorcerer's Apprentice. While trying to impress a girl, Dave (the titular apprentice and a nerd) rigs tesla coils to discharge at a cage with Dave and the girl inside. The discharges make sounds that turn out to be playing "Secrets" by OneRepublic, a song previously heard on the radio. The actual song quickly picks up in the background, not through the radio this time.

Supernatural:
At the start of Season Six, Dean is woken up by this radio alarm playing "Beautiful Loser" by Bob Seger, which then provides the background for a Contrast Montage between his 10-Minute Retirement in suburbia and his past as a Hunter. The same thing happens in "Free To Be You And Me", but in reverse.
Charlie Bradbury's Establishing Character Moment in "The Girl With The Dungeons & Dragons Tattoo". She's listening to "Walking on Sunshine" on her headphones as she turns up for work. It switches to the foreground and once Charlie is out of sight in the elevator she rocks out happily to the music only to compose herself the moment the elevator doors open, with the music just heard faintly through her earphones again.

Ace Combat:
The background music from one of the final missions of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War is Captain Andersen playing the Award-Bait Song "The Journey Begins" over his aircraft carrier's loudspeaker, and as such it actually sounds like it's coming through a loudspeaker for about a minute before fading into a non-diegetic version of the song.
Ace Combat 04 has a minor example at the end of the "Invincible Fleet" level, where the other pilots with you all begin singing their country's national anthem over the radio, with instruments coming in behind them and the radio filter over their voices fading out.

The Cat and the Fiddle has several instances of this:
As the scene of Shirley and Victor's piano duel fades out, the orchestral scene change music that follows (and repeats in the entr'acte) is based on snippets of Victor's fugue and Shirley's novelty piece.
In the second act, after Odette has convinced Victor more than ever that Shirley has been unfaithful to him, he hears Shirley playing one of her American pieces on the piano. The orchestra takes over this tune (which Alec and Angie danced to near the end of the first act) without interruption as the Dream Ballet ensues.

Done to a horrible effect in Grave of the Fireflies. After Setsuko's death, Seita walks by a family who has just returned home to find all their belongings still intact, including their phonograph. They then switch it on to play Amelita Galli-Curci's Home Sweet Home, which becomes the Background Music for Setsuko's Really Dead Montage and eventual cremation.

Black Panther: On realising he's being chased by the heroes, Ulysses Klaue tells his henchman to put some music on the car speakers. "What do you think this is? A funeral?" The music they put on becomes the BGM for the rest of the scene. This is a Brick Joke from earlier when a CIA agent notes his entourage of Badass in a Nice Suit bodyguards and asks if they're planning to make a mixtape. Klaue gleefully confirms they've already done so.

Stargate:
Stargate Atlantis: In "Critical Mass", Teyla sings a song at a funeral while tense action packed scenes are taking place around the city. As the scene switches between locations, the song continues as background music.
Stargate Universe: In "Light", we hear a somber violin piece play on Dr. Rush's iPod speaker dock before the music and scene switch into a montage of the rest of the Destiny's crew bracing itself for a fiery death in the sun that the ship is plummeting into.

Inverted in the opening scene of Turbo Kid: The Kid is riding on his BMX as a melodramatic 80's rock song serves as a score. Then he gets to the shed where he keeps his supplies and turns on a Walkman, which is playing the same song and picks up right where the non-diegetic version left off, albeit much louder until he fiddles with the volume. Moments later, the batteries die out, resulting in a Letting the Air out of the Band effect.

Steven Universe:
In the epilogue of "Change Your Mind", the Grand Finale of the original series, Steven is invited on stage at Sadie Killer and the Suspects' concert and begins a Triumphant Reprise of opening theme "We Are the Crystal Gems". The song continues non-diegetically as the corrupted Gems are shown being cured and the Diamonds head off into space, all the way to the ending with Steven and the Crystal Gems on the beach.
In the final episode of Steven Universe: Future, as well as the final episode of the entire series, "Being Human" begins playing before Steven gets in the car, but just before the credits Steven turns up the speakers to increase its volume.

This is often employed with Wilykit as a provider of flute music, only for a more orchestral version of her piece to begin immediately after she finishes or the camera cuts away.
In "Song of the Petalars" Ethereal Choir is in-universe singing by the Petalars that flows into a more expansive theme after they finish singing.

Dark Shadows (2012 film):
Played with when Barnabas, monologuing about his past, lays his arms on a '70s home organ, which plays a moody chord with inappropriately bouncy auto-accompaniment. Subsequent gestures generate ScareChords and other out-of-place sounds, until Elizabeth finally switches it off.
The restoration of Collinwood and the family business is accompanied by a "Top of the World" soundtrack by the Carpenters. The scene eventually switches to a Collinwood TV set showing Karen Carpenter performing the song. Aghast, Barnabas attacks the TV, crying out, "Reveal yourself, tiny songstress!"

Lost is fond of this. Three Dog Night's "Shambala" was played as Source Music (on an 8-track in the Volkswagen bus) in "Tricia Tanaka is Dead", and then it faded into an orchestral version of same as background music. They did the same with "La Mer" when Shannon sang it at the end of "Whatever the Case May Be". In "One of Us," Petula Clark's "Downtown" goes from playing on Juliet's CD player to playing non-diegetically over a montage of ensuing events. In season six's episode "Sundown" we have Claire singing "Catch a Falling Star" and then later a spooky version is played during a slo-mo sequence.

The songs "You'll Be In My Heart" and "On My Way" from their respective films Tarzan and Brother Bear both start out being sung by one of the film's main characters, but when the chorus starts, it moves into the background and is now sung by an offscreen singer (though the latter switches back for the final line). Curiously enough, both films had their songs written by Phil Collins.

Grosse Pointe Blank goes from diegetic to nondiegetic and back again. Martin Blank's car radio is playing the sentimental beginning of "Live and Let Die" (the Paul McCartney song from the movie) as he pulls up to his childhood home. Stopping the car, he looks up and sees in shock that the house has been turned into a convenience store. The background music blasts Axl Rose's screaming metal version of "Live and Let Die". As Martin wanders into the store, the metal BGM is replaced with the store's Muzak version of the same song.

Mulan:
The ending song starts out being performed by Mushu and the Fa family ancestors, but then segues into the film's closing credits as soon as the lyrics begin.
"I'll Make a Man Out Of You". The first verse is diegetic, and becomes non-diegetic for the rest of the song, save for a couple of lines ("You're unsuited for / the rage of war / so pack up, go home, you're through") that Shang says directly to Mulan.

Done to hilarious effect in Troll 2. Creedence attempts to seduce one of the boys by presumably putting a spell on his TV, which shows her walking up to his door in a seductive manner, with an over-the-top bass-heavy "sexy" song playing over her movements. The boy then opens the door to find that the music is louder, acting as a legitimate soundtrack to their dialogue. Once they enter the camper and proceed to make out, the music is quieter again, but this time muffled as if it's coming from outside the door.

Happens twice in The Cable Guy. While dueling with Matthew Broderick at Medieval Times, the Cable Guy references a Star Trek episode and begins humming the soundtrack. The film's soundtrack quickly picks it up. Later, the Cable Guy sticks Owen Wilson's mouth over a hand dryer, says he looks like Dizzy Gillespie, and starts singing "Salt Peanuts", causing the actual song to start playing on the soundtrack.

Yellowjackets:
In the first season finale The Offspring's "Come Out and Play" blares triumphantly on the soundtrack as the Yellowjackets make their Team Power Walk into their high school reunion. Toward the end, their majesty is undercut when the song transforms into tinny diegetic music playing over the party speakers.
In "Burial" the adult Yellowjackets are dancing under falling snowflakes to Live's "Lightning Crashes" and the action cuts to 25 years earlier teenage Misty somehow humming along with the song, triggering Shauna's Rage Breaking Point. The fact that the song is about a woman dying while another gives birth in a reference to reincarnation (and Shauna almost bled to death after a Tragic Stillbirth) probably doesn't help.

Devil May Cry:
In the first mission in 3, Dante vigorously turns on his jukebox before fighting the demons that invaded his office. When the mission proper starts, the same song is now the mission music.
In Devil May Cry 4, during the first cutscene fight with Dante, Nero throws off his headphones when he decides it is time to get serious. The music which is heard from his headphones becomes the background music for the rest of the scene.

Peaky Blinders: In season 6, we see Gina dancing confidently in her home, and the soundtrack plays loud, powerful jazz music. Then she falters as Tommy Shelby makes a surprise appearance, and the music changes to a much more humble and tinny version of the same song, now coming out of her diegetic 1930s radio.

In the last act of the The West Wing episode "Commencement", the song "Angel" by Massive Attack is playing at the party where the main action takes place, and continues to play uninterrupted over inter-spliced scenes set in other locations where other characters are engaging in their own still-unsolved plot threads (Donna and Amy arguing, Leo meeting with the Joint Chiefs, CJ and Danny picking apart a story, etc.) while the main plot/cliffhanger is set up. The alignment of specific lyrics with specific scenes is chosen symbolically.
Earlier, in the season 2 episode "Somebody's Going to Emergency, Somebody's Going to Jail," Don Henley's "New York Minute" plays over the opening sequence. It starts out as just score music, but as Leo walks by Sam's office, it becomes the song that's playing on Sam's radio when his alarm goes off, and Leo turns the radio off.

Happens in Life on Mars, in the first episode, with the title song: it starts out on the iPod (diegetic), then we don't hear it anymore as the hero gets hit with the car and struggles to stay conscious. Then, as he drifts off, we hear bits of the track coming through (nondiegetic) until it bursts into full volume as he arrives completely in 1973 (nondiegetic). Then it goes quieter and diegetic again as he approaches his car and it's playing on 8-track. It's quietly under his conversation with the policeman by the car (still diegetic) but then goes louder and nondiegetic as he wanders off through Manchester. The last finishing quiet bits of the track continue to play nondiegetically as he enters the police station and looks around.

The final scene in The Grinch (2018), where the Grinch goes to the Whos' Christmas party, starts with the intro to "The Christmas Song" by Nat King Cole playing in the background, then shifts to it playing over the radio inside the house. Doesn't count as Left the Background Music On because it clearly, abruptly goes from sounding like background music to sounding like it's playing on a radio (and through a closed door, at first).

Last Action Hero:
The movie may have lampshaded this. Slater interrupts a conversation to notice the background music on the radio. (Bringing closure to one of the movie's running gags, it's Mozart.) It hits crescendo at the following scene change.
The hard rock playing during one of the chase scenes is coming from Slater's tape deck — and he changes the tape mid-chase!

In "You Never Asked" from Lockwood & Co. (2023), "Party Fears Two" plays as an instrumental as Lucy and Lockwood get ready to go to the Fittes Ball. As they arrive, the vocals play loudly on the soundtrack, then as the scene shifts to them talking to each other at the party, it can be heard playing on a loudspeaker at times over the background chatter. At the end of the episode, it plays again as an instrumental as they flee from the Black Library and then enact a Fire Alarm Distraction.

Top Gear:
Bolivia special, Jeremy Clarkson brings along his iPod. During one driving segment, he starts up a song (ostensibly Will Young's "Grace"), which switches into full-blown background music when the view switches from inside the car to outside. (Clarkson having a crush on Will Young is an in-program joke, so this may be a little editorial humor.)
In the Vietnam special, James May's off-key rendition of "Little Honda" is thankfully drowned out by the Beach Boys' version of the real thing.

In Kiki's Delivery Service, during Kiki's first flight away from home, there's no music until Kiki asks Jiji to switch on the radio she brought with her. When he does, the film's main opening theme ("A Message Left in Lipstick" in Japanese, "Soaring" in the initial Disney dub) kicks in over the opening titles non-diegetically. Later, it fades back to diegetic once Kiki turns the radio off again.

So while Bruce Willis and the other guy are onscreen, they're singing "Swinging on a Star", but each time the camera cuts away — like to the security guard's booth — we hear the "current" snippet of Bing Crosby's recording.

Tangled's "I See the Light" inverts it starting out as the internal thoughts of Rapunzel and Flynn before leading into a duet between the two for the last verse.

Coco:
During the scene where Miguel and Héctor are in the pit upon learning the truth, Héctor looks at the ripped-up photo from the ofrenda and begins singing "Remember Me" A cappella, before switching to the flashback of him playing the song to Coco when she was younger.
"Proud Corazón" starts out as a background piece played as Héctor reunites with Imelda and Coco in the Land of the Dead before crossing the marigold bridge with the rest of the Riveras, before switching to Miguel singing it onscreen for his family following such.

9 has "Over the Rainbow" start playing on a scratchy phonograph operated by 3 and 4 after the group blows up the Machine's factory, believing they have defeated it once and for all, and the song gradually loses its phonograph-like qualities as the scene continues until it is heard free of the dampening, static, and occasional skipping that occur when it first starts up. It also plays for a bit free of in-world sound effects over it. This continues while 5 discovers that the Machine is not dead and is in fact coming towards them out of the rubble, leading to somewhat humorous but terrifying Soundtrack Dissonance while 5 runs screaming up the hill towards the others with the Machine in hot pursuit. The song ends the instant the phonograph's needle is knocked off.

The Odd Way Home cuts from Maya performing "Blind" onstage with an acoustic guitar, to Maya and Duncan driving while a version of the song with more instruments plays in the background.

Ratatouille: "Le Festin" playing over the finale. As the camera pans over the line outside the new restaurant, you can see a woman singing the song to her boyfriend.

In the prologue of Frozen II, Iduna sings a lullaby, "All Is Found", to the princesses. The song continues as the movie's title appears and transitions to the present day.

In "Adios" from Justified: City Primeval, Clement Mansell plays his cover of the song "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes for Marcus "Sweety" Sweeton before shooting him in the heart and burning down his tavern. The song continues to play as the scene cuts to Sweety's boyfriend Trennell washing dishes in his apartment across the street before catching sight of something in the mirror above the sink, then going to the window and seeing the flames and finally going outside.

Inverted in Drive (2011). Ryan Gosling exits his apartment after finishing work on a car part, and he notices Irene sitting outside her apartment. The narrative music switches to music being played inside Irene's apartment, muffled from being behind a closed door.
