' The long wait is almost over, and we are delighted to officially unveil the official song for UEFA EURO 2020 ‘We Are The People’, which features some of the world’s most celebrated artists in Martin Garrix, Bono, and The Edge, ” said UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein. “ Football and music have the power of bringing people together. Every UEFA EURO Championship since 1992 has had an official song with the likes of Nelly Furtado, Simply Red, and Enrique Iglesias providing the tournament’s soundtrack in the past. Releasing on his 25th birthday, the song is a testament to his impressive march through the ranks of the music industry so far. Next to the official track, Garrix has also produced the official walkout and broadcast music for the tournament. For the first time in EURO history, the tournament is being played across the continent, which will display the overriding theme of unity throughout. ‘We Are The People’ hopes to reflect the positivity, hope, and determination required for any team to succeed, as well as offer a sense of togetherness that fits the theme of UEFA EURO 2020: Unity. It is a hymn sheet from which we can all sing where ever we may come from, but especially in Europe where the competition will focus the attention of the whole world. ‘We Are The People’ reminds us that a song can look at the challenges facing the world at a given time and still attempt a unified response.

I’m very proud of what we did together and excited to finally share it with the world!” Martin Garrix: “ Creating the music for one of the biggest sports events in the world together with Bono and The Edge has been an incredible experience. The collaboration evolved further with Bono writing the lyrics and creating melodies and The Edge adding the leading guitar riffs, resulting in a perfect blend of the signature sounds of all artists.

His vision came to life when both Bono and his U2 bandmate The Edge agreed to feature on the song. With the track in the making for three years, Garrix had felt from the early stages of the creative process that Bono’s vocals would make the perfect fit for ‘We Are the People’. I’m very proud of what we did together and excited to finally share it with the world!
