A fight song is primarily a sports term, referring to a song associated with a team. In both professional and amateur sports, fight songs are a popular way for fans to cheer for their team. Although the term "fight song" is primarily an American term, the use of fight songs is commonplace around the world, and may be referred to as team anthems, himnos equipos, or team songs in other countries, such as Australia, Mexico and New Zealand. Fight songs differ from stadium anthems, used for similar purposes, in that they are usually written specifically for the purposes of the team, whereas stadium anthems are not.

The term 'Fight Song' may also refer to a piece of music meant to excite or "pump up" a crowd for whatever reason. Such as at a rave or concert.

In the United States, fight songs are especially popular for American football, especially at the collegiate and high school level, but several NFL teams maintain traditional songs usually several decades old.

Go-Go-Fight Bears
You will lead us on to victory
Hey, go-go-win team

UCA Alma Mater - Listen

From the hills and from the lowlands,
Comes the song of praise anew;
Sung by thousands of our children,
Alma Mater we sing to you.
(Break it down)
Then we'll unfurl our colors the Purple and the Gray
And in the breezes see them ever proudly sway;
They lead us upward, they lead us onward,
They lead us to victory (Go Bears!).
Then let us gather round with loyal hearts and true,
Our Alma Mater's call OBEY;
Our dear old colors will live forever,
The Royal PURPLE and the GRAY.

On McNeese - Official Fight Song - Traditional Fight Song

Our Cowboys fight for victory,
They knock their foes out one, two, three,
They roll aside all opposition,
Blocking their position,
Striving in close harmony.
To victory we'll march tonight,
Winning 'cause all Cowboys fight.
They run the score to size galore and
Then they score some more.
Hail, McNeese, Hail!

We hail our Alma Mater,
with hearts full of gratitude;
Where knowledge dwells with friendship,
and all that is right and true.
Our mem'ries here will linger,
with faith in all  you do;
McNeese, McNeese, make glory reign here, too --
All Hail! All Hail! McNeese, we are proud of you.

Go, Colonels, Go!
We are behind you all the way.
Fight, Colonels, Fight!
We're on the top and there we'll stay.
FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Win, Colonels, Win!
You've got to win this game today.
Big Red, fight for victory
'Cause we're behind you all the way!

Go, ye Demons take the field
Northwestern Demons never yield
Fight, Demons, win tonight
A victory is on our side
GO, FIGHT, WIN!
Purple and white shall ever reign
Filling the air with battle strain
So, Demons forever stand, and
Fight for Dear old Demonland.
