“Thanks a million to everyone who recorded with me,” said David Guetta. “It really is a collaboration like no other. I wanted to try something very special and put the fans at the heart of the UEFA EURO 2016 song. When I asked one million fans of music and football to record with me I didn't know how they would respond but the support from all over the world has been amazing. Now I just have to finish the record.”
UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein said that “we knew there was a major connection between music and football because of their common DNA, which is to trigger strong emotions in people, but what this really shows is just how powerful that connection is. David Guetta is one of the most followed music producers on the planet and this collaboration has given fans from all over the world the opportunity to play their part in creating what will be a very unique atmosphere at this year's tournament.”
