The World Cup is ready for Shakira.
On Saturday (May 23), the Colombian superstar released the music video for her 2026 World Cup song with Burna Boy, “Dai Dai.”
The four-minute visual opens with soccer stars including Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland taking the field to declare, “We are ready” for Shakira.
Shot in Miami and directed by Hannah Lux Davis, the clip begins with the “Whenever, Wherever” singer perched atop Mexico City’s iconic Angel of Independence before transitioning to scenes of her dancing in a desert landscape alongside a group of African children.
Burna Boy then appears for his verse as Shakira is seen standing atop a glowing globe amid a starry sky. She later steps into a soccer stadium alongside female dancers dressed in outfits representing flags from countries participating in this summer’s World Cup, which will be hosted across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The clip culminates with archival clips from past World Cup matches as Shakira shouts out some of the legends of the sport, including Diego Maradona, Paolo Maldini, Romário, Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Kaká and Lionel Messi, as well as this year’s participating nations such as Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, the U.S., and the Netherlands.
“Dai Dai” marks the second time Shakira has been tapped for an official FIFA World Cup song, following the global hit “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” recorded for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup begins June 11 at Estadio Azteca in Mexico City and concludes July 19 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which will be renamed New York New Jersey Stadium for the tournament.
Shakira will also co-headline the halftime show at the World Cup final alongside Madonna and BTS.
