"Dai Dai" (lit. 'Come on, come on') is a song by Colombian singer Shakira and Nigerian singer Burna Boy. It was released on 15 May 2026 through Ace Entertainment and Sony Music Latin as the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America.[1] Legends of football were mentioned during the song, such as Pelé, Diego Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and Mohamed Salah.[2][3]

Background and release

On 7 May 2026, Shakira posted a short video on her Instagram account which featured the singer herself holding the official soccer ball of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the football field of the Rio de Janeiro's Maracanã Stadium, announcing the official song title.[4] On 14 May 2026, it was announced that Shakira, Madonna and K-pop group BTS will co-headline the FIFA's first final halftime show on 19 July 2026 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.[5]

The song marks the fourth official FIFA World Cup song performed by Shakira and the first since "La La La (Brazil 2014)" for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.[6] It has been speculated that the song was released in response to the negative reception garnered by the other songs on the official album for the tournament that were released at the time, particularly "Lighter", but this has not been confirmed by FIFA.[7]

Composition

The song was written by Shakira and Burna Boy together with Benny Adam, Jon Bellion, Ed Sheeran and Alexander Castillo, who produced the song with Shakira. The song was written in five languages: English, Spanish, Italian, French and Japanese.[8] The song sound was associated with music influences from Afrobeats, dance-pop, world music and reggaeton.[9]

The title of the song, "Dai Dai", is in Italian and is a slang exclamation meaning "come on" – an exhortation to "give it your all" in a sporting performance.[8]

Critical reception

Billboard listed the song as the third best song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, stating that it "blends the musical worlds" of the two artists, with "the artists send a motivational and uplifting message to athletes and fans alike".[9] Marni Rose McFall of Newsweek described the song as "a massive, rhythm‑driven anthem" prising "Shakira’s unmistakable flair" and" Burna Boy’s Afrofusion mastery".[10]

Live performance

On 11 June 2026, Shakira and Burna Boy performed the song live during the opening ceremony of the World Cup.[11] The song would also be added to the setlist of the 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour', during the United States' second leg.[12]

Charity

The song is also the official anthem of the Global Citizen Fund for Education of the 2026 FIFA World Cup to ensure that children around the world have access to quality education and sporting activities.[13]

Music video

The music video for the song, directed by Hannah Lux Davis, was filmed in Miami, Florida, and released on May 23, 2026, through the singers' YouTube channel.[14] The music video opens with cameos by footballers including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland. The video also features an animated reconstruction of Shakira standing over Mexico City's Angel of Independence.[15]
