Believe it or not, music and sports go hand-in-hand. It would be difficult to watch a favorite player score points or make a goal and there be complete silence after, right? Enter the sports anthem, a highly infectious, undeniably upbeat tune that gets fans out of their seats and into the moment, win or lose.

All sports anthems, however, are not universal. Tag Team’s “Whoomp! There It Is” doesn’t necessarily pair well with a sport like baseball and “Take Me Out to the Ball Game” doesn’t always translate from the fields to the courts.
We asked ChatGPT to write a universal sports anthem that is just as effective on the fifty-yard line as it is on the ice rink.
The Song
The artificial intelligence chatbot, ChatGPT, came up with the below lyrics, crafting a tune that is meant to be suitable for all sports while also unifying fans and threatening the competition.
(Verse 1)
We come together, we stand as one,
In the heat of battle, under the blazing sun.
From every corner of the earth, we unite,
With passion and purpose, we’ll shine so bright.
(Chorus)
We are the champions, in the game of life,
Side by side, we’ll conquer any strife.
In the stadium, our spirits rise,
The roar of the crowd echoes through the skies.
(Verse 2)
From the fields to the courts, we give our all,
For victory’s glory, we heed the call.
With every swing, every goal, every run,
We chase our dreams until the battle is won.
(Chorus)
We are the champions, in the game of life,
Side by side, we’ll conquer any strife.
In the stadium, our spirits rise,
The roar of the crowd echoes through the skies.
(Bridge)
In this arena, where legends are born,
We push the boundaries, together we’re torn.
But we rise above, we never back down,
In this universal game, we wear the crown.
(Chorus)
We are the champions, in the game of life,
Side by side, we’ll conquer any strife.
In the stadium, our spirits rise,
The roar of the crowd echoes through the skies.
(Outro)
So raise your voice, let the anthem ring,
For sportsmanship and victory, we sing.
United we stand, in this world so vast,
Our universal spirit will forever last.
The Sound
We asked the chatbot to describe what the imaged tune might sound like against a roar of cheers and heckles and the answer was pretty much as expected.
The universal sports anthem would sound energetic and uplifting, matching the excitement already in the air. It would begin with a guitar riff or percussion intro, building in intensity before a powerful chorus urged fans to sing along.
From there, the song would only grow, becoming a climactic, triumphant call to game-goers, overall, resulting in an irresistibly catchy and engaging anthem that is just as electrifying as the moment’s atmosphere.
Would this be a song you would sing at sporting events. Let us know. Comment below.
