[edit] Themes and meanings

The song clearly refers to a man, possibly the singer, who wants to win some sort of competition. He claims he is "built to be the best". This may be an expression of arrogance, but is probably more of a general statement of confidence.

Furthermore, later in the lyrics, the titicular "champions" are mentioned. There is no exact references to what these champions may be, but one can assume they are celebrities of some sort. The lines about "falling down" may refer to either a failure in his past, or one occurring right now. This depends on the listener's individual interpretation of the song's timeline.

The Winstars Soccer Academy in Richmond Hill Ontario, Canada uses this song as their anthem and academy's official song.
