KINGSTON, Jamaica — There was some Jamaican flavour at Sunday’s broadcast of the finals of the UEFA European Football Championships 2024.

It’s a Party, a song recorded by Usain Bolt and NJ, was used in the Fox broadcast of the European football championship. The song was previously used in the semi-final.

Spain beat England 2-1 at the end of the finale.

Eight-time Olympic gold medallist Bolt and current Red Stripe ambassador, made a post on X formerly Twitter, to share his excitement about the use of It’s a Party in the Fox broadcast.

“Them can’t talk to wi. Our song #Its A Party the official celebration song for @foxsports Euro 2024 football coverage,” the post read.

It’s a Party was produced by Bolt’s A-Team Lifestyle label. It was released in July 2021 and is featured on Bolt and NJ’s collaborative album Country Yutes, which made the US Billboard Reggae Albums chart.

Since he got involved in music production, Bolt has so far released three rhythm projects, namely Olympe Rose, Immortal and Clockwork.

Bolt recently produced the song Jamaica All The Way, an anthem for Team Jamaica ahead of the Olympic Games in France.  It was recorded by Busy Signal and Shaneil Muir.

The UEFA European Football Championship, less formally the European Championship and informally the Euro or Euros, is the primary association football tournament organised by the Union of European Football Associations.
