The question asks about the musical theme for the Women's Euro 2025, as broadcasted by the BBC.
The BBC has made an exciting departure from traditional music choices for their coverage of the UEFA European Football Championship 2025, opting for the dance-rock effort "Heads Will Roll" by the American indie band Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
The accompanying video package features claymation depictions of some of European football's biggest stars in action in the Swiss alps. Recognizable players such as Lucy Bronze, Lauren James, Jess Fishlock, Ann-Katrin Berger, and Aitana Bonmati are all included.
The sequence for the video package was traditionally hand-made from clay, and the animators drew inspiration from real-life footage of football action, some of which was shot especially for the video.
The video and choice of music offer a more combative edge to the tournament, with the slogan used in the video package being 'names will be made'. This sentiment was certainly evident in England's 4-0 win against the Netherlands, where Sarina Wiegman's side provided a hugely convincing response.
Lauren James scored a brace, with Georgia Stanway and Ella Toone also finding the back of the net. Berger's name is rendered as a steel door, while Bonmati's is spelt out by twisted and prone opposition defenders.
The popularity of "Heads Will Roll" means that many viewers likely won't need a guide to identify it. The song, which is the second track on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' album "It's Blitz!", reached a peak of number 9 in the UK album charts and was an absolute smash at indie club nights at the time of its release.
It's worth noting that this choice of music is a departure from previous choices made by the BBC for their World Cup coverage. For instance, the song "Nessun Dorma" was used as the theme for their coverage of the World Cup in Italia 90, while "When You Come Back" was used for the 2010 World Cup.
However, unlike Switzerland's potential musical offerings, "Heads Will Roll" is not a yodeling song. This gives the video package a unique and modern feel that is sure to excite football fans across the continent.
