Rema, LISA & Anitta’s “Goals” for FIFA Hits 5.9M Views on Youtube in 2 days
Afrobeats just landed on the biggest stage in the world. Rema has teamed up with K-pop icon LISA and Brazilian superstar Anitta for “Goals,” the official FIFA World Cup 2026 anthem. AfrobeatsGlobal has been tracking this drop, and it is every bit as massive as you’d expect.
Released on May 21, 2026, via SALXCO and Def Jam Recordings, “Goals” is a primary single off the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album. Within just 13 hours of dropping, it had already racked up over 2.6 million views on YouTube alone. In 24 hours, that number crossed 2.7 million across platforms. Nigeria is officially on the World Cup soundtrack. As of May 23, just 2 days after its release, it currently has 5.9 million views on YouTube.
What Makes “Goals” the Perfect Rema FIFA World Cup 2026 Track
Three continents, one record, and zero compromise. That is what this collaboration delivers.
LISA kicks things off with a confident rap. Anitta follows with a multilingual performance in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Then Rema closes it out with his signature swagger, cementing Africa’s place in the global conversation.
Grammy Award-winning producer Cirkut handled production alongside Bava, PinkSlip, and Brazilian duo Tropkillaz. Furthermore, the sound itself is a deliberate fusion. You get K-pop energy, heavy Latin pop bass, and Afrobeats percussion all in one track. The result is a stadium-ready anthem built for the moment.
The music video, directed by Chris Villa, features the trio inside a high-energy football cage with street freestyle scenes running through it. It is cinematic, cultural, and completely electric.
What the Artists Said
The artists themselves summed it up perfectly. LISA described music as something that unites people across the world, saying it was an honor to collaborate on this record. Anitta called her connection to the World Cup deeply emotional, noting how special it feels to now contribute to its history. And Rema put it simply: “Three continents, one track.” That alone says everything.
Rema’s Rise to the World Stage
This is not Rema‘s first global moment. However, “Goals“ is arguably his most significant. After “Calm Down” broke streaming records worldwide, this FIFA placement confirms what AfrobeatsGlobal has always said: Afrobeats belongs everywhere.
Rema and the trio are also set to headline the FIFA World Cup 2026 Opening Ceremony on June 12, 2026, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. In addition, they join Shakira and Burna Boy, who also have a World Cup collaboration this year. Afrobeats is absolutely everywhere.
