The song, written by OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder and produced by Meduza, combines house and pop elements. “For me, this request (to participate in the creation of the composition. – Ed.) was of great importance, of course, because I come from a family obsessed with football,” 26-year-old Leony, whose vocals are heard in the Euro anthem, noted in an interview with dpa. 2024.
Fans criticize the song for its English language

According to the singer, because of this she faced a wave of hate on social networks. “I understand that the football anthem could be in German, but this is not my decision. An official song in English is a completely normal phenomenon,” says the performer, known in Germany for her hits “Faded Love” and “Remedy.”
