For the 2015-2017 seasons, Underwood sang “Oh Sunday Night,” which was itself based on the song “Somethin’ Bad” as performed by Underwood and Miranda Lambert.
In her early years, she continued using the Faith Hill-sung “Waitin’ All Day for Sunday Night,” which was spun from Joan Jett’s “I Hate Myself for Loving You.”
Heidi Merrill was then under the impression that “Game On” would be a smart song choice for Sunday Night Football, seeing as how the two previous songs that Carrie Underwood performed for SNF were also derived from previous tracks.
