Sony Music Netherlands announce the release of the official UEFA EURO 2020 song ‘We Are The People’ from Martin Garrix, featuring Bono and The Edge. After more than a year of anticipation and having to keep this a secret, the track is now available to stream and download via all digital service providers.
The song is accompanied by an official music video starring all three artistes. 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’. His vision came to life when both Bono and his U2 bandmate The Edgeagreed to feature on the song. 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.
Martin says, “Creating the music for one of the biggest sports events in the world together with Bono and The Edge has been an incredible experience. I’m very proud of what we did together and excited to finally share it with the world.”
Releasing on his 25th birthday, next to the official track, Garrix has also produced the official walkout and broadcast music for the tournament.
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. “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,” says UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein.
