The song was created by two comedians named Skinner and Baddiel who hosted a TV show about football called 'fantasy football league' and a indy band called 'the lightning seeds' The song 'three lions' – also known as 'its coming home' originally refered to the Euro 96 football competition that was held in England, the meaning of the song is that the competition is coming home to the birthplace of football – this was the first major football competition held in England since the 1966 World cup. During Euro 96 the song became a very popular chant used by England fans and has been used by them ever since. Hope this helps.
