Shakira and Burna Boy bring the energy of the world’s biggest sporting event to life with Dai Dai, the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and a vibrant celebration of music, culture and unity.
Directed by Hannah Lux Davis and filmed in Miami, the video transforms football into a global spectacle, blending massive choreography, colorful visuals and appearances from some of the sport’s biggest stars. The clip features cameos from Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Vinícius Júnior and several other international football icons, reinforcing the song’s worldwide reach.
Musically, Dai Dai fuses Latin pop, Afrobeats and stadium ready production into an anthem designed for the global stage. Shakira delivers the soaring hooks while Burna Boy adds a rhythmic, charismatic presence that gives the track an international pulse. The collaboration continues both artists’ tradition of creating music that transcends borders and languages.
The video also carries a deeper purpose. Dai Dai serves as the official anthem for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, an initiative aiming to raise $100 million for children in underserved communities worldwide. Shakira has pledged her royalties from the song toward the cause, while Sony Music is matching early fundraising efforts.
Visually, the clip balances spectacle with symbolism. Alongside football imagery and high energy dance sequences, the video highlights cultural diversity through multilingual lyrics, international performers and appearances from Uganda’s Ghetto Kids, an organization that supports vulnerable children through music and dance.
For Shakira, Dai Dai continues a legacy that stretches back across multiple World Cups, following global hits such as Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) and La La La (Brazil 2014). This latest anthem feels both familiar and refreshed, pairing her unmistakable style with Burna Boy’s globally influential Afrobeats sound.
With football stars, global rhythms and a message centered on unity, Dai Dai is positioned as more than just a tournament anthem. It is a celebration of culture, connection and the shared excitement leading into the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
