In May 2022, the Chief of Space Operations (CSO) at the U.S. Space Force (USSF) “slapped the table on a final melody” for the agency’s new theme song. The goal was to have the song all done by mid- to late-August. Every branch of the armed forces has its own song, and the Space Force being a relatively new agency needed one too.
The result, if you remember, was this song:
At the time, the CSO had only approved the melody and words. So that meant the USSF now had to work with a composer on harmonies and everything else. The goal was to provide the CSO “with 3(ish) options for Official Version of the USSF Song,” according to internal Space Force emails 404 Media obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
