GOTTHARD's 'Lift U Up' Is Official Song Of Switzerland's National Soccer Team

May 5, 2008

The public has decided: GOTTHARD's song "Lift U Up" which was written about motivating each other and working together as a team to achieve goals together is the official song of Switzerland's national soccer team for the upcoming European championship. The track was chosen as the winning title in a recent survey held by Switzerland's biggest newspaper Blick.

The new version of "Lift U Up" was remixed by the German star producer Mousse T., who has previously worked with TOM JONES, NO ANGELS and EMMA LANFORD. In addition, the players of the Swiss national soccer team prove that they are not only self-confident when it comes to kicking, but also when it comes to singing: the guys have personally sung the chorus of the track!

The recordings with the band and the national team took place at the legendary Powerplay Studios in Zurich, Switzerland, where EUROPE recorded its "The Final Countdown" smash in the '80s.

The official "Lift U Up" maxi-CD will accompany the "Reloaded" reissue of GOTTHARD's "Lipservice" album on June 20. The song will also be released digitally on June 6.

GOTTHARD's video for the original version of "Lift U Up" can be viewed below.
