Shakira and Burna Boy’s collaboration “Dai Dai,” the official anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, is rapidly gaining global traction, climbing to No. 69 on Spotify’s Global Daily Top Songs chart on May 29 with 1.884 million filtered streams in a single day. The track has now accumulated more than 20.8 million streams since its mid-May release.
The song’s accompanying music video, released on May 23, has also recorded strong performance online, surpassing 51 million views on YouTube. Featuring energetic football-inspired visuals, choreographed dance sequences, and the recurring hook “Dai dai, we’re ready!”, the video has quickly become a focal point for fan engagement across social media platforms.
Announced on May 15 as an official song for the 2026 tournament, “Dai Dai” is part of the broader promotional build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be jointly hosted across Canada, Mexico, and the United States beginning June 11.
The project also carries a philanthropic angle, supporting the Global Citizen Education Fund, which focuses on expanding access to education and football opportunities for children worldwide. Organizers have linked the campaign to the World Cup’s wider social impact goals, blending entertainment with development initiatives.
Early fan reactions suggest the track is resonating strongly across regions, with clips of dance challenges and stadium-style performances circulating widely online. Social media users have also highlighted the song’s cross-cultural appeal, noting the fusion of Shakira’s Latin pop influence with Burna Boy’s Afro-fusion sound.
A spokesperson connected to the promotional campaign described the release as “a celebration of global unity through music and football,” emphasizing the intention to capture the energy of the tournament ahead of kickoff.
With the World Cup still weeks away, “Dai Dai” is already shaping up to be one of the defining anthems of the tournament cycle, as streaming numbers and video engagement continue to climb. If current momentum holds, the track is likely to remain a dominant presence across global charts as anticipation builds toward football’s biggest event.
