Brooke Eden Refreshes ‘SEC Nation’ Theme Song
The SEC Network has tapped Brooke Eden to refresh the theme song and opening sequence for SEC Nation, its weekly, traveling pre-game show.
The update comes as the SEC Network celebrates its 10th anniversary as well as a new era for the Southeastern Conference with the additions of Oklahoma and Texas. SEC Nation debuted in 2014 with a customized rendition of Robert Randolph & The Family Band’s “Take The Party” as its opening theme song. Randolph worked with network producers to develop an SEC-centric version of the song that complemented the show’s goal of bringing the sights and sounds of a SEC football tailgate to viewers every Saturday. A decade later, Eden has put her twist on the tune with a new sound and original lyrics to include the Sooners and Longhorns.
“It’s such a privilege to get the opportunity to put my mark on the SEC Nation theme song and opening sequence,” she says. “I’m so grateful for the chance to engage with fans and celebrate the passion of college football through a song that means so much to each of us. I grew up right here in the SEC, so these games make me feel at home even when I’m on the road.”
Viewers will hear the full revamped number the night before the first show of the 2024 season, when Eden releases it across all streaming and music platforms at midnight on Aug. 30. The theme song and opening tease will premiere at 9 a.m. CT on Aug. 31, when SEC Nation travels to Gainesville to see the Florida Gators take on the Miami Hurricanes.
