Colombian pop icon Shakira and Afrobeats star Burna Boy have dropped “Dai Dai,” the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The multilingual track—performed in English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Japanese—carries a message of perseverance and unity. The song, which translates from Italian as “Let’s go,” also supports a charitable cause, with all royalties directed toward FIFA’s Global Citizen Education Fund. Shakira, who previously recorded “Waka Waka” for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, described the new song as a response to a more divided world in need of a common cause. Burna Boy’s inclusion on the track further highlights Afrobeats’ growing influence on global entertainment and major international sporting events.
