"We're on the Ball" is a single by British pop and television duo Ant & Dec, released in 2002. It was the second of three comeback performances since their musical career ended in 1997, and their only studio recording since. "We're on the Ball" is a football song, and was adapted from a song written by Harold Spiro. It was produced and arranged by Mike Hedges.
The song is the England football team's "Official Song" of the 2002 FIFA World Cup. It features on the album The Official Album of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, released by Epic Records. The song's lyrics are about the England team of the time, featuring references to their victory at the 1966 FIFA World Cup and their attempts to repeat that success since.
The single was re-released digitally in May 2010, to coincide with the World Cup 2010.
