Sounds European! has spent the day celebrating the 2020 (2021) Euro, which is about to have its kickoff tonight. We've seen songs celebrating the competition coming from Poland, Portugal and Denmark. And now, it's time to close our special day dedicated to the tournament with its official song.

Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix (Amstelveen, 1996) teamed up with U2 members Bono (Dublin, Ireland, 1960) and The Edge (Barking, United Kingdom, 1961) to create "We are the people". It's an uplifting song that mixes pop, rock and electronic sounds into a truly memorable track. We are surely gonna listen to this one a lot during the games!

Denmark | Herrelandsholdet feat. Alphabeat – "Danmarks dynamite"

BRAND NEW

Another country to have an official anthem for this year's Euro is Denmark. And the Danes went big! They offered a great meeting of one of the country's biggest bands, Alphabeat, with some of the players who will be competing in the tournament – and they are actually singing in it!

About the players' participation, Alphabeat say: "We are both honoured and thrilled that Kasper Schmeichel, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Yussuf Poulsen wanted to sing the first verse of 'Danmarks dynamite'. It was very important for us that the song wasn't just another Alphabeat-song but an anthem for our country from us and the players".
