The official song for England's Euro 2004 campaign will be a version of Alltogethernow by The Farm, the FA has announced.
The tune, originally a hit in 1990, has been remixed by Radio 1 DJ Spoony and features additional vocals by a boys' choir from Liverpool.
Spoony played the track on Radio 1 but it will not be officially released until May 31.
He said: "The song is a classic and I'm a massive England fan, so when the FA asked me to get involved, I couldn't believe my luck."
The Farm's Peter Hooton originally wrote the song about the Christmas Day truce during World War One, when British and German soldiers played football on No Man's Land.
He said: "The fact that the greatest game in the world had momentarily united the soldiers was the reason I wanted to capture the spirit of that day in the lyrics.
"It's a fantastic honour to have our song chosen to be the official England anthem."
