“Music and college football have been intertwined for years, and our ESPN College Football anthem ushers in that first spark of the season,” ESPN vice president of marketing Curtis Friend said in a press release. “This 12th iteration, mgk brings a passionate, high-voltage sound that mirrors the raw emotion and untamed spirit of college football.”
This is the second new anthem ESPN has released this offseason in advance of the 2025 campaign. Earlier this summer, ESPN revealed a new SEC-specific anthem that will be used for games on ABC this fall. That song features Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs.
This song by mgk is on his “lost americana” album, which is set to be released on Aug. 8 just ahead of the 2025 college football season.
