Brittany Davis's 'Stand Up' Is the Official Anthem of the Seattle Reign
"Stand up is what you do after you rise. It's that 'I'm here' energy. It's show up energy, powerhouse energy, champion energy... You can't buy this in a store!"
If anyone in the city of Seattle can create a feel-good anthem, it's self-proclaimed vessel of sound Brittany Davis. With songs such as "I Choose to Live," "Sepricon," and "So Fly," that succeed in uplifting listeners' spirits (and making them dance in the process), Davis is in familiar territory.
Davis's new song "Stand Up" has been designated as the official anthem of the Seattle Reign women's soccer team. Approached by the team itself after a difficult year, Davis was tasked with creating an anthem ahead of Reign's 2025 season with the National Women's Soccer League. As a result, Davis created a song that is an homage to community, triumphing over obstacles, and standing in your power.
Soulful and high energy, "Stand Up" was directly inspired by Andra Day's "Rise Up," which Davis covered in Reign's past season at the jersey retirement of Megan Rapinoe. The anthem also includes backing vocals from members of Reign and the Reign Academy players, in addition to support from The Royal Guard fan organization, Reign City Riot band, and the Sound Wave band.
In celebration of the new anthem, Davis and the Seattle Reign Football Club released a short film documenting Davis' creative process. In the documentary, Davis also discusses her connection to Seattle, how she creates as a blind person, and how the camaraderie of the Reign fanbase inspired her. The film was directed by Jason Bergh, who has previously worked with talents such as Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Migos, and Michelle Obama.
Whether or not you're a sports fanatic, "Stand Up" is the song to listen to when you need those big winner vibes.
"Stand Up" is now available to stream on all major platforms as of March 4th. The song will also be played before every Reign game.
