UPDATE: A lighthearted anthem celebrating New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has taken social media by storm, racking up nearly 1 million views across TikTok and Instagram in just days. Created by professional musicians Joshua Quimby and Avry Truex, the viral song is capturing the spirit of Patriots fans as the team gears up for the NFL playoffs against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday night.
The creators, Quimby from Connecticut, now based in Nashville, and Truex, a Massachusetts native, penned the catchy tune during Truex’s recent visit to Nashville. The song features the lyrics, “In Maye we believe. From 4-13 to 14-3, kings of the AFC. We believe,” and was filmed in a spontaneous moment that has since exploded into a fan phenomenon.
“We were just trying to get this out there in hopes that maybe the Drake Maye Lover account on Instagram would notice us,” Quimby admitted. The response has been overwhelming, with fans rallying around the fun tribute to Maye, who has emerged as a leading candidate for the NFL MVP award alongside Matthew Stafford of the Rams.
Truex expressed his astonishment at the viral success, stating, “None of the heart-wrenching ballads I write go viral. It’s the Drake Maye silly song that’s taken off.” He noted that the duo had simply set out to create a memorable moment for Patriots fans.
Adding humor to the situation, Truex joked about the unintended attention directed at Maye’s wife, Ann Michael Maye, who has also gone viral on TikTok for her holiday baking series. “I want to put out a sorry real quick. She has been tagged over 1,000 times on Instagram and TikTok,” he laughed, acknowledging the unexpected crossover.
As the Patriots prepare for their playoff matchup, the duo hopes their song will be part of a memorable Super Bowl run. “We were just happy to be part of a cultural moment with this fanbase that we love so dearly,” Quimby reflected. “The ultimate goal is a Patriots Super Bowl.”
This unique blend of sports and music is resonating deeply with fans, making it clear that sometimes the most unexpected creations can spark joy and unity. “At the end of the day, it’s just a silly song,” Truex added. “But if it makes fans excited, that’s what it’s all about.”
With anticipation building for the playoff game on Sunday night, this anthem could be the rallying cry Patriots fans have been waiting for. Stay tuned as the story continues to develop and more fans join in the celebration of Drake Maye and the Patriots.
