Shakira will easily break records; the 2026 FIFA World Cup theme song "Dai Dai" will surpass 100 million plays.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup has officially kicked off, a quadrennial event that rivals the Olympics in prestige. Football fans should turn on notifications and keep an eye on their screens to catch the matches live. While replays are available, nothing beats the excitement of watching the games live, getting the latest results and highlights of exciting goals instantly. The World Cup undoubtedly opens up new opportunities for viewers to socialize with friends, share information, comment on social media, or gather together to watch the games. It adds an engaging element to otherwise mundane daily lives, offering entertainment comparable to TV dramas.

When it comes to entertainment, the Football Association also had to find artists to participate in the opening ceremony, perform, and sing the theme song. Music is a force for unity and good, using melodies to praise peace and resonate with emotions. Later, when the song plays unexpectedly, it immediately brings back memories of the intense matches four years ago, such as Shakira's "Waka Waka," with the music video still vivid in everyone's mind. In 2026, she once again sang a theme song called "Dai Dai." With the World Cup underway, the number of plays surged again. Having sung for four World Cups, it's clear how highly she is valued. This year, she did not disappoint, and setting a new record for memorability is no challenge.

Lisa, a member of the famous Korean group Blackpink, also sang a song called "Goal." After its release, the reviews were polarized. While fans gave it enthusiastic support, some netizens felt that the lyrics had nothing to do with football and were all about the singer showing off her wealth. Which theme song do you prefer?
