ICC releases official Champions Trophy 2025 anthem featuring Atif Aslam

The official anthem for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, 'Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke', is out, and it is already building excitement for the tournament. The song features popular Pakistani singer Atif Aslam, making this a big moment for both cricket and music fans.  

With the Champions Trophy returning after eight years, the anthem sets the perfect tone for the event. Aslam’s powerful and soulful voice brings high energy to the track, making it a thrilling listen for fans worldwide.  

Produced by Abdullah Siddiqui, the song is written and composed by Adnan Dhool and Asfandyar Asad. Siddiqui, known for his high-quality music production, has created a track that feels grand yet exciting, capturing the spirit of the competition.  

Aslam’s performance adds to the song’s impact, making it a strong anthem that celebrates both cricket and unity. The song also has a 'band baja' arrangement, giving it a festive and uplifting feel. It reminds fans of previous Pakistan Super League (PSL) anthems like 'Agay Dekh', which also featured Aslam and Siddiqui.  

The music video has been released, showing Aslam dancing through the streets while excited cricket fans wave flags of participating teams. The visuals reflect how cricket is deeply connected to street culture in countries like Pakistan and India.  

The video also includes dancers adding to the lively atmosphere. Aslam’s lyrics capture the excitement of the game: "Khelne aye hum khelne aye, gali gali bhari pari tujhe mujhe dekhne."  [We are here to play; the streets are filled with people here to watch us]

While the song doesn’t introduce a completely new style, it is well-produced and delivers exactly what a sports anthem should—energy, excitement, and celebration. This is the first time an official anthem has been given so much importance in a Champions Trophy, making it a special addition to the tournament’s history.  

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will feature the top eight One Day International (ODI) teams. Matches will take place in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and the UAE. The tournament kicks off on February 19 with an exciting match between Pakistan and New Zealand.
