Country music star Brooke Eden reworks SEC Nation theme song

To mark the 10th anniversary of the SEC Network and the opening of a new era for the Southeastern Conference with the addition of Oklahoma and Texas, SECN has invited country music star Brooke Eden to rework the title song and opening sequence for SEC Nation, the station’s weekly traveling audition show.

SEC Nation debuted on August 28, 2014, with an adapted version of “Take The Party” by Robert Randolph and The Family Band as its theme song. A decade ago, Randolph worked closely with network producers to develop custom lyrics for “Party Wherever We Go” – an SEC-centric version that complemented the show’s goal of bringing viewers the sights and sounds of an SEC football party every Saturday. Ten years later, Eden put her own spin on the tune with a new sound and original lyrics that included the Sooners and Longhorns.

“It’s a great privilege to have the opportunity to help create the SEC Nation theme song and opening sequence,” said Eden. “I’m so grateful for the chance to connect with fans and celebrate the passion of college football through a song that means so much to each of us. I grew up here in the SEC, so these games make me feel at home, even when I’m on the road.”

SEC Network viewers can hear the new song the night before the first SEC Nation of the 2024 season when Eden releases the track on all streaming and music platforms at midnight on Friday, August 30. The theme song and opening teaser will premiere at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday, August 31, when the show travels to Gainesville, Florida to feature the Florida Gators hosting their in-state rival, the Miami Hurricanes.

SEC Nation returns to college football tailgates, stadiums and sidelines this fall and will regularly track the location of the 3:30 p.m. SEC on ABC Showdown. Laura Rutledge will host the show in its eighth season, her ninth overall, along with Tim Tebow, Paul Finebaum, Jordan Rodgers And Roman Harper. A “Making Of” feature of Eden’s version of “Party Wherever We Go” will be broadcast during SEC Now: Live from SEC Football Media Days on ESPN2 and SEC Network on Wednesday, July 17, at 8 p.m. ET.
