Seven-time Grammy Award-winner and multi-platinum recording artist Carrie Underwood has recorded a new opening theme song for NBCโs Sunday Night Football, primetime televisionโs No. 1 program for five consecutive years. Entitled โOh, Sunday Night,โ the new SNF opening song is a mix of country, rock, and pop.
โI love being part of the Sunday Night Football family and canโt wait for the fans to hear the new theme song,โ said Underwood, who is in her fourth season performing the SNF open for NBC.
โWeโre excited to kick off our second decade of Sunday Night Football on NBC with a new opening theme,โ said Fred Gaudelli, Executive Producer of NBCโs Sunday Night Football and Thursday Night Football. โEarlier this offseason, Carrie said she had a special idea for a new SNF open song. When we got into the recording studio in Nashville, the song instantly came to life, and will be a dynamic addition to our show.โ
SOMETHIN’ BAD
Gaudelli, the lead producer for all ten seasons of Sunday Night Football, was recently named Executive Producer of NBCโs Sunday Night Football and Thursday Night Football and will oversee production for both primetime packages.
โOh, Sunday Nightโ is set to the music of โSomethinโ Bad,โ a chart-topping duet from Underwood and Miranda Lambert which was released in 2014 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Underwood worked with the songwriters of โSomethinโ Badโโ Chris DeStefano, Brett James, and Priscilla Renea – to rewrite the lyrics for Sunday Night Football. The result, โOh, Sunday Night,โ was produced by Mark Bright and Chris DeStefano.
โWaiting All Day for Sunday Night,โ the SNF theme song from 2006-15, was set to Joan Jettโs โI Hate Myself for Loving You.โ
