About the song: "Dai Dai"
"Dai Dai" is a song by Colombian superstar Shakira and Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy, released on May 15, 2026 through Ace Entertainment and Sony Music Latin as the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, hosted by the United States, Mexico and Canada. The title is an Italian slang exclamation that means "come on, come on", and the lyrics travel through five languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French and Japanese.
It is Shakira's fourth official World Cup song and her first since "Dare (La La La)" in 2014. The track blends Afrobeats, world music, dance-pop and reggaeton, and its lyrics name-check football legends such as Pelé, Diego Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Mohamed Salah. A Spanish version and a Portuguese version featuring Léo Santana and Felipe Ret followed later in the summer.
Chart success
"Dai Dai" became one of the biggest songs of 2026. It spent seven weeks at number one on the Billboard Global 200, more than any other song this year, and reached number one in countries including Argentina, Colombia, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Sweden. It is also the highest-charting official FIFA World Cup song in UK chart history.
The music video
The official music video premiered on May 23, 2026, eight days after the audio release, and it has already passed one billion views on YouTube. Shakira was also announced as a co-headliner of the first FIFA World Cup final halftime show, held at MetLife Stadium on July 19, 2026, alongside Madonna and BTS.
