Natasha Howard Drops Empowering Anthem to Kick Off Indiana Fever’s 2025 WNBA Season
Indianapolis, IN – May 25, 2025 — Indiana Fever star forward Natasha Howard is proving that her talents extend far beyond the basketball court. Ahead of the much-anticipated 2025 WNBA season, Howard surprised fans and teammates alike with the release of an empowering anthem titled “Fever Rising”, a bold and energetic track designed to inspire both the team and the fanbase.
The song, which dropped Friday night on major streaming platforms, blends high-energy hip-hop beats with motivating lyrics that reflect the Fever’s championship aspirations and the unity within the squad. The chorus, echoing with the line “We rise, we fight, we burn with Fever light”, has already been adopted by fans online as a rallying cry.
Howard, a three-time WNBA champion and defensive powerhouse, co-wrote the song with local Indianapolis producer DJ Mello Vibe. In a press release, she shared the inspiration behind the track: “This season feels different. The chemistry, the energy — it’s all aligned. I wanted to create something that captures the soul of this team and gives fans something to vibe to before every game.”
The Indiana Fever organization has fully embraced the track. Head coach Christie Sides played “Fever Rising” during practice on Saturday, and team members were seen dancing and hyping each other up to the beat. “It’s more than just a song,” said Sides. “It’s a statement. Natasha has always been a leader on the court, and now she’s leading with her voice in a new way. We love it.”
Caitlin Clark, the Fever’s breakout rookie sensation, also praised Howard’s creative move: “It’s fire! It’s got that game-day energy. We play hard, but this gives us even more reason to come out swinging.”
The Fever plan to use “Fever Rising” as their official entrance track for home games at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. It will also feature in promotional content across social media and team broadcasts. With the Fever drawing record crowds and media attention in the 2024 season, this bold musical move helps cement the team’s identity as not just athletes but entertainers and culture-setters.
Fans can expect a live performance from Howard during halftime at the Fever’s home opener next week. She teased the performance on her Instagram with the caption: “We’re not just hoopin’ this year — we’re making history.”
With “Fever Rising”, Natasha Howard has ignited more than just speakers — she’s igniting a movement.
