Background
"Gamer's Anthem" was one of the first songs that MC Zappa ever conceived, in 2015. He wrote three full verses and a chorus, even recording the first two, but this version of the song remains unreleased. Originally, MC Zappa had used looped samples of the Super Mario Bros. "Ground Theme" for the melody. He could never decide which drum break he ultimately wanted to use, but the following were under consideration at various points. Ultimately, he was unsatisfied with not only the instrumental, but the song as a whole. The track languished until three years later, during the recording of "It's All A Game". MC Zappa decided to tear down every preconceived idea for the track, starting from scratch. The only similarity to the first iteration is the fact that they are both in the key of C major, a conscious decision made by MC Zappa after noting that not only was the Super Mario Bros. Ground Theme in C major, but most happy and triumphant songs were (two notable examples he based this observation on were the themes for the children's TV shows "Sesame Street" and "Doc McStuffins").
