Ellie Santra’s New Song and Music Video Bring Humor and Energy to the Fastest-Growing Sport in America
Pickleball is taking the U.S. by storm as the fastest-growing sport, and South Florida singer-songwriter Ellie Santra is embracing the craze in the best way possible—through music. Her latest release, Pickleball Song (Big Dink Energy), is a playful and infectious anthem inspired by the unexpected battles between confident newcomers and skilled veteran players on the court.
Santra, an avid pickleball enthusiast herself, was captivated by the way younger players often underestimate the seasoned pros, only to be hilariously outmatched. That dynamic sparked the idea for her new song, which pairs humor with an irresistible beat to celebrate the spirit of the game. The accompanying music video takes the fun even further, capturing the excitement, competition, and camaraderie that make pickleball so special.
“Big Dink Energy is all about having fun, staying active, and not underestimating the players who’ve been perfecting their dink shots for years,” says Santra. “I wanted to create something that makes people smile—whether they’re on or off the court.”
Fans can listen to Pickleball Song (Big Dink Energy) on all major streaming platforms and enjoy the music video for a good laugh. For those looking to show off their pickleball pride, Santra has also launched a line of Big Dink Energy merchandise, available on her website.
