The song that was used by ESPN College Game Day last fall is Kenny Chesney’s new single for country radio. “This Is Our Time” debuted at number 50 this week on the Billboard Country Songs Chart.

There were only two other new songs to hit the chart: Colt Ford’s “Cold Beer,” featuring Jamey Johnson at number 59, and Luke Bryan’s “Rain Is a Good Thing” at number 60. At number one is Reba McEntire’s “Consider Me Gone.”

Chesney was inspired to start writing the song on a cocktail napkin last fall during a dinner in Nashville with play-by-play announcer Brett Musburger, football analyst Kirk Herbstreit and producer Bill Bonnell. Chesney was a guest on ESPN’s College Game Day telecast from Vanderbilt during their game against Auburn last year.

The song was used as an opening tease, as the networks went in and out of commercial breaks, and for promotions of upcoming programs and show elements across ABC and across ESPN platforms.

Download “This Is Our Time” at iTunes or AmazonMP3. You can also listen to it on Kenny’s MySpace.
