The much-anticipated ESPN College Football 2023 season draws near, and excitement builds around its new musical anthem. Enter Post Malone’s “Something Real.” Fresh from his latest album “AUSTIN,” released on July 28, this Grammy-nominated and 8x RIAA diamond-certified artist joins the esteemed ranks of past collaborators.
Music Meets College Football
ESPN has a rich history of blending music with sports. This season marks the 10th collaboration of this kind for ESPN and college football. In previous years, renowned artists such as Fall Out Boy, Imagine Dragons, and Juice WRLD, to name a few, were behind the soundtracks.
This year’s selection, “Something Real,” aims to encapsulate the raw emotion and vigor of the game. Post Malone expressed his thrill at this partnership, describing the song as capturing the “emotion and passion” that college football signifies.
