Shakira drops teaser for new World Cup song featuring Burna Boy

Global music icon Shakira is set to ignite the 2026 FIFA World Cup with her latest track, "Dai Dai," featuring Nigerian superstar Burna Boy. FIFA has officially chosen this collaboration as the tournament's anthem, promising a fusion of Latin rhythms and Afrobeats that will resonate worldwide.

Shakira unveiled a captivating 67-second teaser for "Dai Dai" on Thursday, filmed against the iconic backdrop of the Maracanã Stadium. The high-energy clip showcases Shakira dancing energetically on the pitch alongside a group of dancers, surrounded by footballs, culminating in a spectacular fireworks display and the message "We Are Ready" emblazoned on the stadium roof.

Fans are already buzzing with excitement, hailing Shakira as the "Queen of World Cup anthems." Her previous contributions, "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" for the 2010 South Africa World Cup and her work on the 2014 Brazil tournament, remain fan favorites. "Dai Dai" is poised to continue this legacy, blending global sounds for what promises to be an electrifying tournament co-hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada.

The full song is scheduled for release on May 14, just in time to build anticipation for the tournament's kick-off on June 11. This collaboration not only highlights Shakira's enduring connection to the World Cup but also celebrates the rich musical tapestry of Africa through Burna Boy's Afrobeats influence, making "Dai Dai" a truly global anthem for the beautiful game.
