NEW YORK May 23, 2026 (LNA WAVE) – Global superstars Shakira and Burna Boy have officially dropped “Dai Dai,” the official song for the FIFA World Cup 2026, igniting massive excitement ahead of the tournament co-hosted by Canada, Mexico, and the United States.
The high-energy anthem, which blends Shakira’s signature Latin rhythms with Burna Boy’s infectious Afrobeats sound, was released on May 15 via Sony Music Latin. Today, the duo unveiled the official music video, featuring vibrant visuals, football celebrations, and cameo appearances from World Cup legends including Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé.
A Celebration of Football, Culture, and Unity
FIFA described “Dai Dai” (which translates to “Come on, come on”) as a “vibrant celebration of football, culture, and unity.” The track captures the passion and global spirit of the world’s biggest sporting event, set to run from June 11 to July 19, 2026.
