AceShowbiz - Serious injuries can't stop Carrie Underwood from creating new music. Less than a month after her surgery, the country singer has teased a brand new song entitled "The Champion" in a commercial that aired during the NFL Wild Card game between the Atlanta Falcons and Los Angeles Rams. Carrie then took to Instagram to post a clip of the said commercial.
In the clip, Carrie could be heard singing, "I am invincible, unbreakable, unstoppable, unshakable." She wrote along the clip, "Check out something special from @carrieunderwood that aired tonight during halftime!"
"The Champion" was written by Carrie exclusively for the Super Bowl. Variety previously reported that "Sunday Night Football" executive producer Fred Gaudelli approached the songstress last year to write the song. "I think it's going to become a sports anthem," he told the news outlet. "It's going to be one of those songs that you see cut to highlights for the next 25 years."
It was revealed that Carrie's husband, Mike Fisher, was the first one to hear the song. "My husband loved it," Carrie shared. "He would listen to it before playoff games. He was like, 'I want everyone to hear it!' and I had to tell him, 'You can't do that. You can't play it in the locker room. I'm sorry.' But that was a good indicator that we were on the right track."
The Super Bowl anthem will be released on January 12, marking Carrie's first song since she suffered injuries after falling on the front steps of her home in November last year. She had to undergo surgery on her wrist and get over 40 stitches to her face because of that.
"I am grateful that it wasn't much, much worse. And I am grateful for the people in my life that have been there every step of the way," Carrie said after her surgery. "I am determined to make 2018 amazing and I want to share things with you along the way. And when I am ready to get in front of a camera, I want you all to understand why I might look a bit different."
