Arsenal supporters are pushing for a 'North London Forever' chant to become a new club anthem, but what are the lyrics and background to the song? GOAL has all the details.
The Gunners faithful have a strong reputation as one of the most vocal fanbases in the Premier League, and they boast a vast collection of songs about current players, club legends and past glories that they regularly belt out during matches.
A large portion of those tunes reference their unique place in the history of north London, and a new one has now been added to the Arsenal playlist which is reportedly set to debut in the away stand at West Ham on Sunday.
What are the lyrics to the chant 'North London Forever'?
English singer Louis Dunford, who was born and raised in north London, released a single called 'The Angel' in February 2022, and Gunners fans have picked up the chorus as a potential new club chant, which goes:
North London forever
Whatever the weather
These streets are our own
And my heart will leave you never
My blood will forever
Run through the stone
— Louis Dunford (@LouisDunford)— ArsenalChants (@ChantsFc)I’m overwhelmed by the love The Angel is getting today. Thank you all so much for sharing and tweeting @Arsenal. Don’t stop now. North London forever 👊🏼❤️ pic.twitter.com/2BkF84dWuU

Can’t wait to hear ‘The Angel’ getting belted out in the away end this Sunday. We need everyone on board for this to work. The feel good factor in our fanbase should help excel that. Send and share this song to all your Arsenal mates!https://t.co/JMZCC7I8xh

What does the chant mean?
'The Angel' was released as one of the singles from Dunford's 'The Popham EP' and the official video for the song has been viewed over 44,000 times on YouTube as of April 30, 2022.
Dunford includes the full lyrics to the song in the description, which you can find , and goes into great detail about life on the north London streets, from the "little f*ckers causing trouble" to the "towers of veneer" now visible on the skyline.
The Sony Music-signed artist also mentions football and Arsenal's old ground Highbury, and has welcomed the prospect of supporters adopting the tune.
"I’m overwhelmed by the love The Angel is getting today," Dunford tweeted on April 29, 2022. "Thank you all so much for sharing and tweeting @Arsenal. Don’t stop now. North London forever."

He also suggested that the lyrics to the chorus could be tweaked to better fit the Gunners in a subsequent post as he wrote: "Majority of ya seem to like the chorus as it is. If you did wanna change it though I reckon this works quite well -
"North London forever
"Whatever the weather
"These streets are our own
"And our hearts will leave you never
"The Arsenal forever
"Will be our home"
