Reading debuted their new club song before the match against Leeds, but here is the official video for They Call Us The Royals.

Featuring players including Garath McCleary, Hal Robson Kanu and the dear departed Pavel Pogrebnyak, it also has singers and dancers wearing club colours and make up in the studio and at the Mad Stad.

“I, along with my friends, wrote a song as a gift for Reading Football Club,” said Lady Sasima when the song was launched.

“We have made a music video together with it. So it will be an opening show.

“I was in the studio for many days doing that. It’s so meaningful for us to open the season well and for us to feel the spirit and the emotion of the fans with us. They have to be inside us.

“So we wrote the song which I’m pretty proud of. We tried to do the song in a trendy way."

They Call Us The Royals

Verse 1

We started when all the odds defied us

Through passion and dreams we reached new heights

We were marching proudly from Elm Park into the stadium

We forced our rivals to make way

pre chorus

Now we’re here and we’re strong, we’re going to bring it on

Can you hear when we shout come on

chorus

We will fight til the end, they call us the Royals

With our might we’ll defend, the glory of Reading

Like the kings of our land, they call us the Royals

Let us sing every man, we stand by the Royals

Verse 2

We rise to the challenge of our rivals

We’re fighting the butterflies tonight

It’s our moment, feel the expectations rising

We smell a victory today

Rap

How we love the thrill of a good game

How we like the smell of the fame

Doesn’t matter if we learn or win

Unstoppably we burn within

Getting ready to shed our sweat

Everybody get ready and set

Let’s celebrate tonight. Or blood is blue our wings are white.

Blue and white, blue and white, blue and white

Give us blue and white, blue and white. Everybody come on.

A capella

Like the kings of our land. they call us the Royals

Let us sing every man, we stand by the Royals
