Shakira and Burna Boy Drop "Dai Dai": The Ultimate 2026 FIFA World Cup Anthem is Here!

The Queen of World Cup anthems returns, teaming up with the Afrobeats giant for a high-energy track that is taking the globe by storm

The beautiful game has its official soundtrack, and it’s exactly the high-octane masterpiece fans were hoping for. Pop icon Shakira has officially joined forces with Afrobeats giant Burna Boy to release "Dai Dai," the blockbuster anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.


Taking its title from the passionate Italian exclamation for "Come on!", the track is a masterclass in multicultural collaboration. Written across five different languages—English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Japanese—"Dai Dai" seamlessly bridges continents. It pairs Shakira’s signature soccer-anthem euphoria with Burna Boy’s infectious, rhythmic swagger, capturing the exact grit, sweat, and glory required on the pitch. The driving message of the song honors the ultimate legends of the sport, explicitly shouting out soccer icons like Pelé, Maradona, Maldini, Romario, Iniesta, Beckham, and Cristiano Ronaldo.
