MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – A song by a Macon artist will hold a special place in Macon’s history for celebrating the city’s residents, history and culture.

“I Love My City” was announced as the official anthem for Macon’s Bicentennial Celebration happening all this year. The song references the city’s cultural landmarks, famous residents and the iconic Cherry Blossom Festival.

Songwriter CMD Styles said he wanted his song to be both educational and entertaining.

“I think history is a big part of life, period,” he said. “So I just wanted to try to write a song that made people realize there’s such a lot of great things going on in Macon and be proud of your city. Represent your city.”
