Football Season is well and truly back. And kicking it off with a bang, REGENT, have released the rip-roaring new single: “Be In That Number”.
Paying tribute to their beloved Southampton FC, who are marking their first season back in the Championship since the 2023–24 campaign, the South Coast rock band have prepared an anthemic new track to spur them on to victory.
Speaking about their passion for Southampton FC and why they have decided to tackle a tribute to the side, Ben Rooke of the band explains:
“I love my football team and wanted the challenge to write a song about my love for the club, and the city I was born in (Southampton)… We had a tough season last time out, so I wanted to write a song that will pick everyone up and charge towards another promotion race in the new upcoming football season…”
He adds:
“I feel the club deserves a homemade football anthem that everyone can enjoy together from a local Southampton based band… Enjoy!”
Littered with references to their local side, “Be In That Number” is pumped-up with anthemic guitar kicks and tactical vocal hooks, destined to be belted out on the terraces. Without doubt, Regent have scored a winner here.
