The latest Yungblud single, "The Emperor," from his upcoming album has been chosen as the official anthem for ESPN's 2022-2023 college football season.

The British musician's self-titled studio album is set to be released on September 2.

"I wrote this song when I was 17; it was just an outburst of unfiltered energy that I knew would have its moment one day. I played it live for years, but never found the right time to release it until now," Yungblud said in a statement.

He added, "College football is such a massive part of American culture, and all I ever want to do is bring energy to people, so I can't wait for the song to bring that energy to the fans and the players at the games all season."
