Italianproducers Meduza, American pop-rock trailblazers OneRepublic and German pop icon *Kim Petras will unite to create the official UEFA EURO 2024 song, it has been announced at the final draw in Hamburg.
The tournament's official music artists, OneRepublic, Meduza, and Kim Petras will unveil the anticipated track in spring 2024; it is set to become the heartbeat and soundtrack of the summer. This song, along with other musical elements such as the walkout sound and TV sequences, will capture the shared spirit of football and music, reflecting the unity, passion, and diversity at the heart of EURO 2024.
Meduza, the Italian DJs/producer superstars who were nominated for a Grammy award in 2019, say they are thrilled to contribute to such a prestigious event: "It's an honour to create a song that mirrors the passion of EURO 2024 and resonates with our fellow football fans."
OneRepublic, renowned for millions of record sales, billions of streams, chart-topping hits and a Grammy nomination, stand as one of the most successful bands of the 21st century. Band singer Ryan Tedder, winner of three Grammy awards, said: "Growing up, American football and football were the sports I played the most from age five. Performing at the closing ceremony of EURO 2024 in Berlin is an incredible opportunity and honour for any artist, but is truly exciting for me personally. The energy that comes with this sport is like nothing else in the world. We absolutely cannot wait."
Kim Petras, the German pop sensation who reached incredible new heights with her global chart-topping Grammy-winning collaboration with Sam Smith in 2023, said: "In my home country of Germany, football has always been a big deal. I have so many fond memories watching the matches together with my friends and family. Nothing could be a bigger honour for me and I'm so excited to join Meduza and OneRepublic in creating the official song for 2024!"
Guy-Laurent Epstein, UEFA's Marketing Director, noted: "Combining people's most popular passion points that are music and football is ideal for creating an immersive UEFA EURO 2024 experience. Meduza, OneRepublic, and Kim Petras, with their varied and exceptional talent, embody our vision of uniting through football."
UEFA EURO 2024 is set to be a landmark event, celebrating not only Europe's football ability but also its cultural diversity and unity. In a climactic finale, the closing ceremony will feature a live performance of the official song by the three artists.
*on 20 March 2024 it was announced that due to unforeseen scheduling issues Kim Petras could no longer be part of the production of the official UEFA EURO 2024 song. Instead, German singer and songwriter Leony was announced as an official UEFA EURO 2024 music artist, who together with Italian producers Meduza and American pop-rock trailblazers OneRepublic will perform the official tournament song.

We Are The People, the official song of UEFA EURO 2020, has been officially released with less than a month until the tournament gets under way. The track, from legendary Dutch DJ/producer Martin Garrix, also features Bono and The Edge.
Garrix, the world-renowned DJ and producer behind hits such as Animals, In the Name Of Love and Scared to Be Lonely, has also produced the official walk-out and broadcast music for the tournament. He was unveiled as the Official Music Artist for UEFA EURO 2020 in Amsterdam in October 2019 and is delighted his hard work can now finally be unveiled.
"Creating the music for one of the biggest sports events in the world together with Bono and The Edge has been an incredible experience," said Garrix. "I'm very proud of what we did together and excited to finally share it with the world!"

It's probably a version not as epic as the one originally released when Los Blancos won La Dcima, but Domingo deserved the chance to feature as he also was the one singing the song for Madrid's centenary.

With just over a month to go until the start of the Euros, Italian electronic trio MEDUZA, OneRepublic and German singer-songwriter Leony have teamed up to release FIRE, the official UEFA EURO 2024 song, which is now available on all streaming platforms.
The song, written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic and produced by MEDUZA, merges the Italian group's much-loved anthemic house production, OneRepublic's compelling soundscapes and Leony's pop expertise into a track that embodies the fervour and spirit of football and music fans alike. Supporters will have the chance to see the anthem performed live by the three artists during the closing ceremony, which will take place ahead of the final at Olympiastadion Berlin on Sunday 14 July.
MEDUZA have also created a full auditory experience, a series of compositions inspired by the anthem to enrich TV sequences, walk-on music for teams entering the pitch and key moments such as the trophy presentation, ensuring that the spirit of EURO 2024 resonates in every aspect of the event, uniting music and football.
Additionally, an official EURO 2024 playlist is now available on steaming platforms, with weekly updates and specially curated takeovers providing a dynamic and immersive musical backdrop to the tournament.
"Three Lions" singer Frank Skinner said UEFA had opposed plans for him and David Baddiel to perform their popular song before Sunday's European Championship final between England and Italy at Wembley.
The hit song, released in 1996, has been revived in recent years as England's footballing performances have improved, moving up the charts as fans began chanting the lyrics when Gareth Southgate's squad stormed into the 2018 World Cup semifinals.
