The Premier
League on Friday launched a new anthem for the upcoming 2020-21 season, which
will be played at every match prior to kick-off.

London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios is among the venues where the new anthem was recorded and produced.

British composer Dave Connolly developed and produced the anthem in collaboration with 83 musicians and technicians over a period of nine months.

Connolly previously
collaborated with London-based Emmy award winning Radium Audio to score the
theme for Sky Sports News, the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and other events.

He said
that his objective was to create music “that embodies the passion of the
beautiful game”.

“From the
strings which reflect the prestige of the League, to the guitars that give an
authentic, live and raw feel, and the gospel choir that adds a powerful, human
quality, this anthem was lovingly crafted to become an integral part of Premier
League and football culture,” Connolly said.

Meanwhile, Premier
League Commercial Director Will Brass said, “With excitement building ahead of
the 2020/21 Premier League season, we are delighted to unveil our new anthem,
which fans will hear in the moments before kick-off.”

“The
anthem captures the drama and emotion of a Premier League matchday and we hope
it will soon become instantly recognisable to supporters around the world.”
