Los Angeles - Muse's new single, Survival is the official song of the Olympics.
The British trio's new track will be played when athletes enter the stadium, in the lead up to the medal ceremony and as the theme for all international TV coverage at this year's games, held in London, which start on 27 July.
The song was unveiled on Thursday at around 19.30 on BBC Radio 1 in the UK.
New album
The band wrote on their website: "We are very excited to announce that a Muse song, Survival, has been selected by the London Olympic committee to be the main official song for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
"Matt [Bellamy, lead guitarist and singer] wrote the song with the Olympics in mind. It's about total conviction and pure determination to win.
"We are honoured that the Olympics have chosen our song to officially represent the London 2012 Olympic Games across the globe."
Muse - completed by bassist Chris Wolstenholme and drummer Dominic Howard - are set to release their sixth album, The 2nd Law, in September and recently released a video preview in which they showcased a dubstep influenced sound.
