Embrace World Cup Song Gets Radio Premiere

Friday, 21 April 2006 Written by Stereoboard.com
ImageEmbrace's official England World Cup anthem 'World At Your Feet' had its radio premiere this morning.

The song doesn't contain the word 'football', but features the lyrics "there's no-one you can't beat" and "you know it's going to be our time".

Speaking to the BBC, singer Danny McNamara said: "There's 'You lift it up with one proud kiss', which is obviously about lifting the cup. Then there's 'You're the first in my life to think we might just go all the way'."

"I wasn't born in 1966 but I think they have got every chance."

McNamara said they would play it to the England players for the first time on Sunday.

"They haven't heard it yet, but we are playing the PFA awards so we'll get a chance to play it to them then. We hope they like it. We did it wholeheartedly so we hope they like it."
