Embrace have unveiled their official World Cup song. World at Your Feet, which is released on 5 June, received its first radio play on Radio 1.

Even though the song does not contain the word "football" singer Danny McNamara said it does contain football references.

McNamara said they would play it to the England players for the first time on Sunday. "They haven't heard it yet, but we are playing the PFA awards so we'll get a chance to play it to them then.
