Priyanka Chopra would be the featured artist for Thursday Night Kickoff - the pregame show for NFL Network's Thursday Night Football. Priyanka's debut single 'In My City', featuring Will.I.Am and produced by RedOne (Lady Gaga) and Brian Kennedy, would be the music bed for the intro to Thursday Night Kickoff. Earlier this week, Priyanka shot the spot so that they can air every Thursday night before and after Thursday Night Football on NFL Network. Thursday Night Kickoff begins September 13th with the 185th meeting between Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers - the most-played rivalry in NFL history.
"It's been an honor working with the NFL Network to create this sort of fantastic launch for my debut single," said Priyanka. "I'm really thrilled to bring my music and a marginally of India to America and its football fans."
"We're excited to showcase Priyanka's talent and worldwide attract millions of NFL fans around the United States," said NFL Network Executive Producer Eric Weinberger. "'In My City' will set the easiest tone for Thursday Night Kickoff which leads into all the 13 primetime Thursday Night Football games on NFL Network."
The release of the whole song and accompanying video for 'In My City' is anticipated later this year.
