Who could forget "This One's For You" by David Guetta feat. "We Are The People" now sits in the pantheon alongside all the other great and enduring European Championship theme songs. The lyrics, written by Bono, speak of generosity, compassion, energy and an urge to unite and rebuild - perhaps a reference to the troubles that have besieged the upper echelons of football administration in recent years. "It is a hymn sheet from which everyone can sing, no matter where one is based," reads the official UEFA statement.
The song has a very light, radio-friendly feel reminiscent of U2's later, less vital work - which some would say is akin to a Coldplay B-side. "We Are The People" is intended to reflect the feelings of "positivity, hope and determination" that tend to envelope any team taking part at a major tournament. "I'm very proud of what we did together and excited to finally share it with the world!" "Creating the music for one of the biggest sports events in the world together with Bono and The Edge has been an incredible experience," Garrix said. Over a year later, the fruits of his labour are now upon us.
Work began on the song in late 2019, shortly after Garrix was named Official Music Artist for UEFA EURO 2020. With the tournament kicking off in less than a month, the official Euro 2020 anthem has been released. "We Are The People" has been produced by Dutch DJ Martin Garrix and features Bono and The Edge of U2 fame. Martin Garrix, Bono and The Edge collaborate for Euro 2020 anthem
