When England footy fans tune in for their side's big Euro 2020 knockout clash with Germany after work on Tuesday, they will be spurred on by the sounds of a Frenchman - whether they realise it or not.
Force Majeure, the cinematic-sounding and typically banging track from Gaspard Augé - aka one half of electronic duo Justice - has been the BBC's official theme song throughout the tournament.
The corporation's choice of tune was music to the ears of the Parisian DJ and producer.
"It was really just the best news for me," Augé tells BBC News, ahead of his country's shock defeat to Switzerland. "Because I made this track with some sort of sporting event - a boxing match or a football match - in [my] head.
"Just this kind of survivor feel to it, something very epic, like when something is about to happen."
He continues: "[I wanted] to create some kind of feeling of invincibility, like when you're walking on the street and listening to a track and you feel really pumped up.
"And I guess it definitely works for the Euros."
The compatriot of Paul Pogba, Kylian Mbappé, Eric Cantona et al admits he doesn't "know much" about le foot, but says he now has "no excuse" not to watch it.
"It's funny because my best friend was never into football since I knew him," he adds, "and now [since the track] he's gone completely crazy about it."
'Set the tone'
The BBC's football creative director Mark Woodward, who helped to select the song, noted how a major sports tournament "deserves a music track to set the tone, and Force Majeure definitely does this".
"This summer, Euro 2020 across the BBC will be consumed by millions and Gaspard's first single as a solo artist works perfectly alongside our TV output," he said.
The TF1 channel in Augé's native France returned the compliment, selecting Higher Power by England's very own Coldplay as its official theme song.
"Maybe it means Brexit is over," jokes Augé.

While the Beeb went for a bit of French electro, soaked in synths, bass and beats, to soundtrack the summer of football, the other UK Euros broadcaster, ITV, did plump for something homegrown - Michael Kiwinuka's You Ain't the Problem.
