"Parade" is the official song for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games and it is finally scheduled for release on major streaming platforms including Spotify, iTunes, and Apple Music.

Victor Le Masne crafted "Parade," a harmonious fusion of symphonic and electronic elements. Recognized for his creativity and skill in music, Thomas Jolly, the Artistic Director of the Paris 2024 Ceremonies, appointed him the Musical Director for the grand event.

Le Masne said, per Olympics.com, "From the arrival of the Olympic Flame in Marseille on 8 May to the end of the Paralympic Games at the Stade de France on Sunday, 'Parade' will have been the Theme accompanying all the highlights of the Games."

"From the Seine to the Concorde, via the competition venues, the medal ceremonies and the celebration sites, spectators have sung and moved to this music with one voice. After sharing it with the whole world this summer, I'm delighted that it can now be heard beyond."

The vibrant and uplifting song resonated throughout the competition venues, performed by the Orchestre National de France and the Choeur et la Maitrise de Radio France.

Serving as a powerful anthem for the Olympic, it infused the event with a sense of celebration, unity, and magnificence, contributing to the extraordinary atmosphere of Paris 2024.

The song for Paris 2024 will echo once more as it leads the Parade of Champions along the iconic Champs-élysées on Saturday, September 14.
