BBC’s Stirring Euro 2025 Final Montage Shines with Self Esteem’s Soundtrack
So, if you caught the BBC’s coverage of the Women’s Euro 2025 final, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about — but if not, let me paint the picture. Right before the showdown between England and Spain, the BBC kicked off their broadcast with a powerful and emotional opening montage that had viewers glued to the screen. What made it truly special was the use of “Focus is Power,” a track by Rebecca Lucy Taylor — better known to many as Self Esteem. It wasn’t just a song slapped over football clips; it was an experience.
The montage took us on a cinematic journey through England’s campaign at the tournament. Every high, every heartbreak, every goal, every injury — all of it was beautifully woven into this short but punchy piece. You could feel the tension building, the stakes rising, and the pride swelling. It wasn’t just a highlight reel. It was storytelling through music and visuals, and the result was nothing short of spine-tingling.

Self Esteem’s track added a raw, urgent energy to the video — her voice, paired with the driving rhythm of the song, perfectly mirrored the grit and determination of the Lionesses. “Focus is Power” wasn’t chosen randomly; it captured the mindset of this team. These women weren’t just playing football — they were making a statement.
And let’s be honest — the BBC have mastered the art of the pre-match montage, but this one might’ve topped the lot. Even fans outside the UK were wishing they could see it, though sadly, the content is geo-locked to UK viewers only. It’s a shame, because it's the kind of pre-match buildup that genuinely adds to the atmosphere. You felt like you were stepping into something historic.
What’s even more striking is how seamlessly sport and culture are blended here. Using Self Esteem, an artist who’s known for themes of empowerment and resilience, sends a message that this tournament — and this team — is about far more than just football. It's about breaking barriers, owning identity, and showing strength, on and off the pitch.
All in all, this montage set the tone for the final perfectly. It reminded us not just of the road to the final, but what the journey represents for women's football as a whole. The message was clear: the focus is power — and these women have it in abundance.
