The “waiting all day for Sunday night” football theme song has been sung for a decade by Pink, Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood and perhaps most memorably Jane Lynch. But its days as a Sunday night staple are done.
Fred Gaudelli, NBC’s executive producer of both Sunday Night Football and Thursday Night Football, confirmed to the Associated Press that a new Underwood song will debut this season.
“The song had lasted 10 years, but I didn’t know how much more we could stay with the song without it feeling routine,” he said.
The new theme will be based on Underwood’s 2014 song “Something Bad.”
