“They have spoken quite a few times and are in London at the moment working on the video. They can’t wait to get it out there for everyone to listen to really soon.”

Garrix also confirmed the collaboration on Tuesday (May 5), sharing a short video which confirmed that the collaboration will drop on May 14.

He was previously confirmed as the musician commissioned to create a song for the tournament in October 2019 and said it was an “incredible honour” to be asked.

Euro 2020 will kick off in June after it was delayed as a result of the Covid pandemic.
