“Goals” by LISA, Anitta, Rema & FIFA Sound is the high-profile single from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026™ Album, released on May 21, 2026.

It’s a vibrant, genre-blending party track that fuses K-pop (LISA’s sharp delivery and charisma), Latin pop (Anitta’s rhythmic flair), and Afrobeats (Rema’s smooth, melodic vibes). Produced by Grammy-winner Cirkut (with Bava and PinkSlip), it aims for global, stadium-ready energy to celebrate the 2026 tournament in the US, Canada, and Mexico.

The song has racked up millions of views quickly (over 6-7M on the official MV in days) and will be performed live at the opening ceremony in Los Angeles on June 12.

flow
  • The chorus (“Goals, goals, goals…”) is repetitive and hooky, with pulsating rhythms, percussion, and dance-friendly drops that make it playlist-ready and fun for parties or TikTok. Many reactions praise the addictive choreo in the MV.
  •  LISA brings confident, stylish rap/singing; Anitta adds playful Brazilian energy; Rema delivers smooth Afrobeats flows. The cultural fusion feels fresh and represents three continents well.
  • The MV features sporty looks, goalposts, high-energy dancing, and a celebratory vibe that matches the “chase your dreams” theme.
cept
  • The song leans heavily into flexing (“My body, my fit, my friends, my whip,” “Shots on shots,” clubbing vibes, luxury). It uses “goals” metaphorically for personal ambition and confidence rather than football, unity, or World Cup spirit. Many fans note it lacks the emotional, anthemic quality of past hits like Shakira’s “Waka Waka.”
  • Some call it mid or more suited for a general club banger than a tournament anthem. The repetition of “goals” can feel lazy.
  • Strong fan support from each artist’s base, but broader critique calls it “not bad, but not legendary.” User scores on some platforms hover mixed-positive.
fin

— It’s a solid, fun summer banger with massive crossover potential thanks to the artists involved. As a World Cup anthem, it scores on energy and global appeal but misses on deeper football resonance. Great for dancing and streaming, less so for evoking tournament nostalgia. If you like high-energy pop blend with star charisma, you’ll probably enjoy it. The live performance could elevate it further.
