Hilversum/Volendam May 20, 2019

Today, the new single by Jan Smit, André Rieu, John De Bever, and Jack van Gelder was released. The track, titled "Wij Zijn Nederland" (We Are the Netherlands), is the new anthem for Dutch athletes. 

With "Wij Zijn Nederland" (We Are the Netherlands), the four gentlemen want to cheer on the orange Lionesses in the upcoming World Cup.

In 2017, John De Bever scored his hit "Jij Krijgt Die Lach Niet Van Mijn Gezicht" (You Won't Take That Smile Off My Face). This track was embraced by the Oranje Leeuwinnen (Orange Lionesses), which contributed to its incredible success.

To give the Orange Lionesses all the support they deserve this year, Jan Smit wrote "Wij Zijn Nederland" (We Are the Netherlands) to perform together with John De Bever. Add to that André Rieu's arrangement and Jack Van Gelder's overwhelming commentary, and you have a new "Orange" battle song.

I hope that sports-loving Netherlands embraces our song and that we will soon be able to listen with pride to "Wij Zijn Nederland" during and after the games. According to Jan Smit

The music video for "Wij Zijn Nederland" will be released on May 26. The track can be streamed via this link.
