In order to kick off the 2016-2017 NFL Season, Carrie Underwood took on a new theme song to pump fans up for the games ahead.

The spirited theme song is a play on Underwood and Miranda Lambert’s duet, “Somethin’ Bad.” With Sunday Night Football on the near horizon, Underwood and Co. also filmed an intro to the theme that’ll be played proceeding every game on the iconic watch night.

Fans got a behind-the-scenes look of the making of the promo video, showing Underwood’s hard work and fiery presence among the famous football faces and commentators present for the shoot.

The clip features Underwood working alongside Odell Beckham Jr., Von Miller, Russell Wilson and maybe more big name players for the NFL as they get people pumped up for the boys of fall. Even Underwood had to admit that the level of excitement was higher than ever.

“It’s been really great with the new song and it was kind of a new energy in the building today,” she said to the camera during a quick break from filming.
