We Are The People, the official song of UEFA EURO 2020, has been officially released with less than a month until the tournament gets underway. The track, from legendary Dutch DJ/producer Martin Garrix, also features Bono and The Edge.
The official song has been written to celebrate the festivity and football of UEFA EURO 2020, one of world football’s biggest events. We Are The People is a song that looks at the challenges facing the world, while at the same time aiming to find a unified response to these issues.
A sense of togetherness
It is a hymn sheet from which everyone can sing, no matter where one is based, but it will have special relevance in Europe where the eyes of the world will be on the UEFA EURO.
We Are The People hopes to reflect the positivity, hope and determination required for any team to succeed, as well as offering a sense of togetherness, which fits the theme of EURO 2020 – unity.
Overriding theme of unity
For the first time, the UEFA EURO will be played across the continent, which will display the overriding theme of unity throughout.
With less than a month to go until the tournament gets underway, the music campaign was launched on the giant screens at Wembley Stadium on Thursday evening, with the stadium’s arch illuminated in the colours of UEFA EURO 2020.
“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!"

The song launch is part of UEFA’s plans to get football fans in the mood ahead of the tournament, with players participating in the summer’s tournament contributing to the official UEFA EURO 2020 playlist which will be curated by Garrix and made available on all major music streaming platforms, in addition to each participating national team's own UEFA EURO 2020 playlist.
The #EUROHyped social media challenge invites fans to show everyone how they are getting in the mood for UEFA EURO 2020.
“Football and music have the power of bringing people together”
“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. They are vectors of passion and emotion and combining them will extend further the fan celebration of the tournament, as well as reaching out to new audiences. With the star-studded line-up we have pulled together to create the tournament’s official music, we are confident of doing just this.”
