A full promo featuring more of the track will air on Tuesday, July 3 at 7.30pm on BBC One.

It also features the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, a school choir from the band's old school, and The London Community Gospel Choir.

Keyboardist Craig Potter recently told NME: "The closer the Olympics get, the more exciting it is and the more we realise what a massive thing it is to be asked to do that.

"So many people are going to hear it and it's going to be in the background of some momentous events, so we're really proud of it."

Muse have also released their official Olympics track 'Survival'.
