Despite the Euro 2020 kicking off and the duos BBC Three documentary already airing, no official release date for Krept and Konans We Are England song has been announced  but wed expect a surprise release very soon likely around one of Englands Euro 2020 games. Krept and Konans journey to create the next football song was recorded for a BBC Three documentary of the same name, which was released on BBC iPlayer on 9th June 2021. The programme chronicles Krept and Konans efforts to represent Englands multiculturalism in the song, exploring what Englishness means as the country competes with one of the youngest and most racially diverse squads in its history. The pair travel across the country to experience different aspects of England, learning Mancunian slang from rapper Aitch and discussing previous football anthems with fellow London musician Big Zuu. The duo also seek advice from manager Gareth Southgate, as well as Premier League players Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Declan Rice and Tyrone Mings, and Eniola Aluko, with Mings discussing his experiences of racism in English football culture and the response he received after taking the knee in 2020. Southgate tells Krept and Konan that being English is different now  as shown in the teams youthfulness and diversity  while former England striker Aluko talks reconciling her non-white heritage with her English roots. Throughout the documentary, the duo discuss the pressure of writing a very different song for a modern England as two Black rappers, though both Krept and Konan speak of their optimism that unified support for the country will trump any negative reactions. No matter who you are or where youre from, were supporting England and the song should unite that as well, Konan says during the documentary, with Krept adding: Its a new time and theyve just got to accept that its new times now. And if they dont like it, their kids will.  Advertisement  Krept and Konan: We Are England is available to stream now on BBC iPlayer.
