Francois Van Coke Is Victorious On New Single ‘Ons Het Gewen’

After stepping into the ring with rugby player Derick Hougaard during a BOXOP boxing match last month, Francois Van Coke dropped a song that’s all about victory as he premieres ‘Ons Het Gewen’.

The rocker explains that during his training for the match, he felt inspired to write a victory song and was inspired by the anthemic sounds of ‘We are the Champions’ by Queen.

After a hard-sparring session, Francois hooked up with Hunter Kennedy (Fokofpolisiekar & Die Heuwels Fantasties) and Fred den Hartog (Die Heuwels Fantasties) to start writing. “I wanted to use the words ‘Ons wen’ (We win) and ‘Ons is lewendig’ (We are alive), because while boxing motivated me, getting through the Covid era together as homo sapiens inspired me.

“This it is a song about facing a challenge, pushing through and getting to the other side,” Francois tells us adding that “Because the song is called ‘Ons het gewen’, it forced me to work even harder to prepare for the fight. Music and boxing melting together – crazy times indeed! But Rock ‘n’ roll will always triumph.”

To celebrate the release of the song, Francois shares some BTS scenes of the match packaged together in a beautifully shot music video.
