Three-time Grammy Award Winning superstar Megan Thee Stallion and global DJ and producer David Guetta are among artists performing "DNA," the Official World Cup 2026 Anthem that FIFA unveiled on Wednesday.
Legendary tenor Maestro Andrea Bocelli and Academy Award, Grammy Award and Golden Globe Award-winning singer and songwriter EJAE are also featured in "DNA," marking a defining musical moment for the tournament. "DNA" is available now on all streaming platforms. Listen to the song here.
Along with the global release, Bocelli and EJAE will perform "DNA" for the first time at the opening ceremony in Mexico City on Thursday.
Rooted in the powerful idea of "DNA," the anthem reflects the essence of football - resilience, unity, ambition and belonging - values that live inside every player and every fan. As the lyrics declare, "It's more than just a game, it's our DNA", capturing the emotional and cultural bonds that connect pitches, streets and nations across generations.
On the release, Bocelli shares: "The title of the song DNA, says everything. Football has been in my life for as long as I can remember, and will always hold a very special place in my heart. To be invited to sing the anthem of the FIFA World Cup and to participate in the opening ceremony is an honor that moves me deeply. It also fills me with immense joy and gratitude, to return to Mexico City, a city that has received me with such extraordinary warmth. And to sing on the Official Anthem alongside EJAE and David Guetta is a collaboration I will truly treasure. To FIFA, to the organisers, and to every fan who will gather in stadiums, living rooms and village squares across the globe, it is for you that we sing."
