The network unveiled the choice as part of a highlight video released on social media Tuesday, meant to drive excitement for the new season. The video also highlighted some major storylines for the upcoming season, including Georgia’s quest for a third straight national championship and Alabama looking to get back into the College Football Playoff.

“Collaborating with ESPN to use my music to get fans excited for college football is a cool feeling,” Post Malone said in a press release. “Something Real captures the emotion and passion the sport represents, and the excitement fans feel each and every week, and it only adds to me being ready for football season to get here.”

Needless to say, fans were excited about the announcement.

We’re officially one step closer to college football season. Fans will hear the new soundtrack during some of the highest-profile games of Week 1, including Florida vs. Utah, North Carolina vs. South Carolina and LSU vs. Florida State.
