Kevin Wilson, ESPN’s Creative Music Director, said in a statement. “Our goal was to take the classic ‘Monday Night Football’ music and add a contemporary vibe to it. To get there, we wanted to enlist an artist, a move we have never previously done with Heavy Action remix.”
Marshmello said “Working with ESPN is a dream come true as Monday Night Football and the NFL have been a part of my life ever since I can remember. Having the opportunity to put my own spin on an iconic song that NFL fans everywhere recognize was an amazing opportunity.”
Marshmello will curate the music during the 2022-23 NFL MNF Season and follows in the footsteps of Diplo in 2019, Dj Khaled in 2020 and Drake in 2021.
