The Champions Trophy 2025 is just 12 days away and to build the excitement, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has launched an official anthem sung by the famous Pakistani singer Atif Aslam. The song, titled "Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke", sets the stage for the upcoming cricketing event. Aslam, noted for his raspy and soulful voice, injects strong energy into the song. Adnan Dhool and Asfandyar Asad wrote and composed Jeeto Baazi Khel Ke, which was produced by the legendary Abdullah Siddiqui. The song's production demonstrates Siddiqui's skill, resulting in an exciting yet refined track that flawlessly combines excitement and musical grandeur.

Atif Aslam, the lead singer of this official anthem, delivers an engaging tune that defines the true essence of the game of cricket. In an interview to ICC, he explained his enthusiasm towards the game and how fond he is of the game. He was quoted as saying, "I am very fond of cricket, and I always wanted to be a fast bowler. Having the passion and understanding of the game - I feel connected to the adrenaline of the crowd, their cheers and the feeling of being a fan. I used to wait for matches, in particular the India versus Pakistan game which was always full of emotions and sentimental value. And that is why I am very excited to have been a part of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 official song."
None of the previous Champions Trophy series had official anthems, but this time it is quite special and the preparation is in full-swing. Moreover, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will have the top eight one-day International teams, with matches scheduled to be played in Lahore, Karachi, Rawalpindi, and Dubai.
