Colombian pop star Shakira unveiled her official song for the 2026 World Cup.

The 49-year-old singer, known for hits like 'Whenever, Wherever' and 'Hips Don't Lie,' teased 'Dai Dai' on Thursday as the anthem for the tournament set for this summer in the United States, Mexico and Canada.

Shakira posted a one-minute video on Instagram from Brazil's Maracana stadium to preview the track, which releases on May 14 and features Nigerian singer Burna Boy.

The song is Shakira's second official World Cup anthem, following 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)' for the 2010 event in South Africa.

She also provided the second theme song for the 2014 tournament with 'La La La (Brazil 2014),' which she performed at the closing ceremony in Rio de Janeiro.

Shakira, who has two sons from her former relationship with ex-Spain and Barcelona defender Gerard Pique, sang 'Hips Don't Lie' at the 2006 World Cup closing ceremony in Germany.

Her home country, Colombia, will compete in the 48-team tournament running from June 11 to July 19.
