As the song itself declares: “Let’s go!”

Colombian superstar Shakira and afrobeats icon Burna Boy have joined forces for “Dai Dai,” the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The track blends their signature musical styles — afrobeats and Latin rhythms — into an unmistakably global and multilingual pop anthem. In one verse, the artists reference several of the world’s most celebrated football nations and players competing in this year’s tournament.

“Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Colombia,” Shakira chants. “Mexico, Japan, Korea, the Netherlands.”

Following the first chorus, Shakira and Burna Boy alternate verses before joining together in a powerful duet.

The release comes shortly after it was announced that Shakira, Madonna, and BTS will co-headline the first-ever halftime show at a FIFA World Cup final. The performance is scheduled for July 19 at MetLife Stadium, just outside New York City. The lineup was selected by Chris Martin of Coldplay.

The halftime show will support FIFA’s Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million to help children gain access to education and football opportunities worldwide.

Last week, Shakira shared the first preview of “Dai Dai” by posting a one-minute teaser clip filmed at Maracanã Stadium. In the video, she dances at midfield while singing the opening lyrics in English.

“Here in this place / You belong,” she sings alongside a harmonizing male voice now revealed to be Burna Boy. “What broke you once / Made you strong.”

Shakira is no stranger to World Cup anthems. Her song Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) served as the official anthem for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa and is widely regarded as one of the tournament’s most iconic songs.

She also holds a long history of live performances at World Cup ceremonies, including Germany 2006, where she performed Hips Don't Lie at the final; South Africa 2010 with “Waka Waka” during the opening ceremony; and Brazil 2014, where she performed La La La alongside Carlinhos Brown at the closing ceremony.

It is also common for FIFA World Cup sponsors to release their own songs tied to the tournament. In March, Coca-Cola unveiled its own official World Cup anthem, a reinterpretation of Jump by Van Halen, featuring J Balvin, Travis Barker, Amber Mark, and guitarist Steve Vai.

Like “Dai Dai,” the reinterpretation was multilingual, with J Balvin contributing a new Spanish-language verse that fused Brazilian funk and hip-hop into the classic rock anthem.

“‘Jump’ is not a football song,” Balvin told The Associated Press regarding the original track. “That’s why I had to add the Latin love and passion for football.”

The 2026 FIFA World Cup will be jointly hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico throughout June and July.
