The two Northern California rappers have joined forces on the brand new San Francisco 49ers anthem “Do It for the Bay,” which was released Friday along with a music video, all created in collaboration with the NFL team.

“Dance, dance / We just passed through the end zone again / ‘What do we stand on’?” — Real big business / City of the dubs, you know we stay winnin’,” both artists rap on the song before the chorus, which contains simple lines: “OK, OK, OK, OK / Do it for the Bay. ”

In the song’s music video, both artists rock 49ers merchandise and perform “Do It for the Bay” while footage of the team’s games is interspersed throughout the clip. P-Lo pays tribute to San Francisco’s Levi’s Stadium wearing head-to-toe Levi’s provided by the brand.

Saweetie expressed his delight at the partnership and mentioned the 49ers’ loyal fan base in a statement. “I’m excited to share our new 49ers single designed to pump up the team and The Faithful for these playoffs! I want to thank the 49ers organization for this opportunity,” she said.

The Grammy-nominated “Tap In” singer continued, “Kudos to P-Lo for doing what he does. I love that we were able to collaborate and make something that’s so Bay-triotic, as P-Lo would say.”

P-Lo echoed her thoughts in a statement of his own. “Many thanks to the 49ers for their commitment to connecting Bay Area sports and culture,” he said. “I’ve been wanting to release music with Saweetie, and since we’re both die-hard 49ers fans, this is a great opportunity to come together and show some pride for The Bay.”
