Could be an Award-Bait Song if it's also a song with inspirational lyrics that don't directly relate to the game's plot.
This is oftentimes a video game trope, but not always. Metal Gear does this a lot.
Your work (usually a video game) has a full soundtrack. Lotta good songs in there. But there's one (sometimes two, but oftentimes one) that's "special." Like it'll have vocals with lyrics while the other ones don't. One might assume this is the song they spent the most money on. It's not the main theme, but it's the "specialest" song. Examples...
"Heavens Divide" from Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
"That's The Way It Is" from Red Dead Redemption 2
"Jump Up, Super Star!" from Super Mario Odyssey (Or "Break Free (Lead the Way)," sometimes there's two. But they always stand out in the soundtrack.)
