Afrobeats star Rema has collaborated with South Korean pop singer LISA and Brazilian artist Anitta on Goals, a new single from the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album.
The track, released on Thursday via SALXCO UAM and Def Jam Recordings, is now available on all major streaming platforms and is accompanied by an official music video.
Produced by Grammy-winning producer Cirkut, the song blends Afrobeats, K-pop, and Latin pop influences.
In a statement, FIFA described the project as a unifying platform where music and football come together to connect fans, communities, and cultures across the world.
The governing body said the World Cup 2026™ album brings together diverse voices and genres, reflecting the global scale and spirit of the tournament.
It added that the project “mirrors the vibrancy and breadth of the global game,” serving as a bridge between music and sport while uniting audiences worldwide.
Reacting to the collaboration, Rema called the song a major milestone for global music, saying it represents unity across continents.
“Three continents, one track… bringing all our sounds together like this is a big moment for music on the world stage,” he said.
LISA described her involvement in the Official FIFA World Cup Album as an exciting experience, saying music has always been a powerful force for global unity.
“Being a part of the Official FIFA World Cup Album this year has been so exciting. Music always unites people across the world, so it has been an honour to work with Anitta and Rema,” she said.
Anitta also spoke about her participation, linking it to a personal emotional connection with the World Cup as a Brazilian.
“My connection to the World Cup is deeply emotional. I’m Brazilian, after all, of course I have wonderful memories tied to the tournament. It’s incredibly special to now contribute to its history, collaborating with LISA and Rema on Goals! I’m very grateful for this opportunity,” she said.
The trio is set to perform Goals live for the first time at the FIFA World Cup 2026 opening ceremony at Los Angeles Stadium on June 12, ahead of the United States’ opening match.
Goals is the fifth release from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 album, following Lighter, Por Ella, Echo, and Illuminate.
The tournament will officially kick off on June 12 across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
