Flau'jae Johnson's March Madness song is everywhere, so we ranked the lyrics
LSU Tigers guard Flau'jae Johnson and her new March Madness commercial are all over the women's NCAA tournament.
I spotted a familiar face during a commercial break on Wednesday when I watched a First Four matchup between the Princeton Tigers and Iowa State Cyclones. "It takes more," a voice said as the person on my TV screen calmly spun a basketball on their finger cooler than I could ever do it.
Flau'jae Johnson.
Johnson was in another March Madness commercial like she was in 2024. This time, it was a catchy song that I quickly could not get out of my head. (Not to be dramatic, but the commercial was played AT LEAST 10 or more times Wednesday evening during both First Four matchups.) It was on during every commercial break, and I was humming the lyrics by bedtime.
What have you done to me, Flau'jae Johnson?!
I clearly wasn't familiar with her game. This song is never leaving my mind. In case you're wondering what I'm referring to, here's the commercial and accompanying dope song:
Now that you know why I'm hooked, I figured I'd rank some of the best lyrics that set up shop deep in the recesses of my mind. Here are the five top bars from Flau'jae Johnson's new March Madness commercial:
5. Future WNBA star
I know it takes more, so I don't care what others do. Know I'm causing trouble when I'm drafted to the W.
4. Relentless consistency
I know what it takes to keep on going when you hate it. I know that it's worth it when you're torn and you made it.
3. Championship mentality
They know I'm the sickest. Now, they gotta turn their dosage up. I know how it feels to wear that ring and throw that trophy up.
2. Building generational wealth
I built me a legacy, made me a better me. Now, I'm the one they depend on. Ain't no one ahead of me, one-of-one pedigree. Feel like I threw in the endzone.
1. Subtle flex while balancing multiple careers
I've been working hard. They act like they don't see 10-hour days. Know I got this juice with NIL. I'm sipping Powerade. I done turned the lemons into limes. Ain't no more sour days. I ain't let them put me in a box. I took all kind of ways.

He totaled 24 tackles, two interceptions and six pass deflections for the Buffaloes. Tennessee defensive coordinator Tim Banks discussed Hood ahead of fall training camp. "We're excited about Hood to say the least,' Banks said. 'I think it just starts with the process of getting to know him. He's extremely competitive. He's a kid who understands there is a process to everything that you do, and he's really working at it. I think he has fit in with our guys in our group. He's super hungry, but he's really smart. 'Like I said, just a competitive nature that he brings to the room. Obviously, he has to do it here at the University of Tennessee. Based on everything we have seen this summer, again, how he's fit in with everybody, I heard he has worked. We have no doubt that he will be able to help us in some capacity."

Lady Vols basketball schedule 2025-26: Non-conference games in Kim Caldwell's second season
Lady Vols basketball announced its nonconference schedule for the 2025-26 season on Aug. 1, which only includes five home games. Tennessee will play five nonconference games on the road and two at neutral sites. Including SEC play, the Lady Vols will 14 games against teams that made the 2025 NCAA Tournament. That also includes every team from the Final Four – Tennessee will play UCLA, UConn and South Carolina on the road and host Texas. "Including our conference opponents, our schedule includes the top six teams and 10 of the top 20-ranked programs in the early preseason polls," Lady Vols coach Kim Caldwell said in a school release. "We have our work cut out for us, but I believe our challenging non-conference opponents will better prepare us for what we're going to see in the Southeastern Conference. "We're a little out of balance in terms of home and away ranked opponents, and that's something that takes some time to even out. We'll continue to work on it going forward, but I think this year it will allow us to really test our players and get them ready for conference play." The nonconference slate took a step up in strength of schedule from Caldwell's first season. Tennessee only faced three power conference opponents during the 2024-25 nonconference schedule, and it will face five during the 2025-26 season. UT also only played one true nonconference road game last season. The Lady Vols will open the season Nov. 4 against NC State in Greensboro, North Carolina. They will also make their return to the Women's Champions Classic in Brooklyn, New York, on Dec. 20 where they'll face Louisville. UT's fifth power conference opponent in nonconference play is at Stanford on Dec. 3 as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. Tennessee has 10 matchups with teams in ESPN's Top 25 including SEC play. South Carolina is the highest-ranked team in ESPN's projected rankings at No. 1 and UConn is the highest-ranked nonconference opponent at No. 2. The nonconference slate includes four matchups with in-state opponents. The Lady Vols will face MTSU and UT Martin on the road and Belmont and ETSU at home. Tennessee will travel to Belmont next season and host MTSU in the final game of a four-game series. LADY VOLS: Tennessee women's basketball's 2025-26 roster is set.
