The trio also released an accompanying music video, which features...

Martin Garrix Enlists U2’s Bono and The Edge for UEFA EURO Anthem, “We Are The People”
Last week Martin Garrix unveiled a collaboration with U2‘s Bono and The Edge, which would serve as the anthem for the UEFA EURO 2020. After the trio was recently spotted in London filming, both the track and official music video have arrived via Garrix’s STMPD RCRDS. As most would expect, “We Are The People” is an anthemic, soaring single, an absolutely perfect fit for the UEFA. The personality of the tune shines through thanks to the production of Garrix, a longtime football fan. Bono’s signature tenor blends effortlessly with the upbeat production here, highlighting the synergy found between all three artists. The UEFA tournament begins on June 12th and runs through July 12th as 24 nations will compete for the title. Click here ...
Martin Garrix, Bono, and The Edge Created the Official UEFA Euro 2020 Song for Some Reason
In a collaboration virtually no one asked for that is sure to please only the handful of crossover fans, superstar Dutch DJ Martin Garrix teamed up with Bono and The Edge of U2 to create the official track for the 2020 edition of the UEFA European Football Championship. The track is titled “We Are the People,” as that was presumably the only thing they could find that their fans all had in common. The mashup pretty much only makes sense if the Union of European Football Associations was looking for the biggest possible names to feature on the promoted track for the massive soccer tournament, and we all know U2 has a long history of shoving their music into the hands, pockets, and ears of unsuspecting and unwilling listeners. Maybe they pulled names out of a hat for the collaborat...
