Imagine Dragons Share New Song "Natural," ESPN's College Football Anthem

After first revealing the title and release date of their new single, "Natural," via a tweet on July 12th, Imagine Dragons have officially released their newest song, which has also been chosen as this year's new ESPN college football anthem.

"Natural" is about overcoming any adversity that may stand in in your way, and in the chorus, Imagine Dragons frontman, Dan Reynolds sings powerful lyrics, "'Cause you're a natural/ A beating heart of stone/ You gotta be so cold/ To make it in this world/ Yeah, you're a natural/ Living your life cutthroat/ You gotta be so cold/ Yeah, you're a natural."

In a statement about the song via a press release, Reynolds explain the meaning behind their new single:

"Living in a dog-eat-dog world can bring out the worst in you, and sometimes, the best. It would be a lie to tell you I haven't become somewhat skeptical about some things in the last decade of my life. However, I believe that when you truly learn to love yourself, the judging eyes and hateful words become meaningless. 'Natural' is about finding yourself and being willing and able to stand up to whatever adversity comes your way."

"Natural" follows Imagine Dragons' Kygo collaboration, "Born To Be Yours," which followed the band's other 2018 single, "Next To Me" that appeared on the re-release of their last full-length studio album Evolve.

Imagine Dragons are currently out on tour for the second leg of their "Evolve World Tour," which takes the band across the US through the first week of August, before heading over to Europe. ID will be stopping in cities including Los Angeles (two shows at The Forum), Salt Lake City, Tulsa, Austin, and more. See Imagine Dragons' upcoming "Evolve World Tour" dates HERE.
