Made for Coca-Cola's new Premier League campaign 'Taste Every Second', the original track 'The Team' released under Live Yours (Columbia Records) and Coca-Cola's own real thing records, is the exclusive soundtrack this season has been waiting for. Landing on streaming platforms on 18^th August, it captures everything that makes being a Premier League fan feel like nothing else on earth: the butterflies, the tension, the heartbreak, the euphoria.

From Pitch to Playlist

Central Cee has redefined the global perception of UK rap, breaking barriers and setting unprecedented milestones.  He recently became the first UK rapper to surpass 10 billion streams on Spotify and is recognised as the most decorated MOBO Awards winner in history. He continues to set new benchmarks for British hip-hop and cement his position as one of the UK's most successful musical exports. Known for his love of football and his undeniable influence on global youth culture through music and fashion, Central Cee is the perfect voice to take you through the highs and lows of following your team.

Central Cee said: "I got love for football but slyly, it don't love me back. You've seen me kick a ball, I ain't making the starting 11. Regardless, it's an honour doing this tune for Coca-Cola.  

The crowd energy when I perform live, I feel like that's the closest feeling to what it must be like walking out on the pitch. That energy is what 'The Team' is about. Football's a religion for some people and this song captures that – the sample says 'ride or die', the lyrics say unconditional love.

I blended football-related bars with my usual & switched up the beat. You ain't heard me on something like this before, but it's the right energy for the record. Hope it connects."

Alongside the track which was produced by P-rallel, Central Cee stars in Taste Every Second, a cinematic two-minute film that follows the emotional arc of a full Premier League season, from the hope of pre-season through to the drama of the final day.
