It wasn’t long after Imagine Dragons released their newest song “Natural” that ESPN chose it for their college football season anthem.

Living in a dog-eat-dog world can bring out the worst in you, and sometimes, the best,” singer Dan Reynolds said in a press release. “‘Natural’ is about finding yourself and being willing and able to stand up to whatever adversity comes your way.”

Imagine Dragons are no strangers to this title. “Roots” ESPN’s 2015 college football season anthem.

“Natural” will be played in promotions, during games, and in highlight packages. And yes, anthems are notorious for being hated by fans not long after the season starts.

Last year, ESPN chose “Walk on Water” by 30 Seconds to Mars. The song enjoyed extremely positive reception from Billboard’s Alternative and Rock charts but only came up thirty-first on Billboard’s Top 40.

Get ready football fans…here’s one song you’re going to know.
