Burna Boy Drops New Single “For Everybody” With Cinematic Music Film Ahead of AFCON 2026 Final

Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy has officially released his brand-new single, “For Everybody,” alongside a powerful cinematic music film, marking the full launch of a creative project first teased in collaboration with Sporty Group.

Directed by award-winning American filmmaker Dave Meyers, the visually striking music film celebrates Africa’s cultural power, merging music, sport, fashion, and choreography into one bold artistic statement. The project highlights the growing global influence of African creativity across multiple industries.

The film features an elite lineup of African and Africa-connected sports icons, including Eduardo Camavinga, Nico Williams, Iñaki Williams, Odion Ighalo, Claude Makélélé, Christian Karembeu, Alex Song, Éder Militão, Asisat Oshoala, Cheslin Kolbe, and more. Their appearances reinforce the deep connection between African music, athletic excellence, and global identity.

The release arrives at a symbolic time, just ahead of the AFCON 2026 Final between Morocco and Senegal, strengthening the cultural link between African sport and sound on the world stage.

Fans can also watch Burna Boy perform “For Everybody” live at the AFCON Last Dance, taking place today, Friday, January 16, at the Olm Souissi Fan Zone in Rabat, starting at 20:00 local time.

Now streaming on Burna Boy’s YouTube channel and SportyTV, “For Everybody” reflects the artist’s long-standing mission to promote African pride, unity, and global impact. The track explores themes of resilience, legacy, collective strength, and forward movement, paying tribute to a new generation of African icons redefining excellence both on and off the pitch.

The music film was created in collaboration with renowned choreographer Shay Latukolan and Sporty Studios, capturing the emotional and physical intensity of African sport through cinematic storytelling. From dynamic athletic movement to bold fashion and symbolic football-inspired imagery, the visuals express ambition, rhythm, and cultural identity.

“This one is for the culture — for everyone carrying our sound, our spirit, and our story around the world,” Burna Boy said.

Director Dave Meyers added:

“Africa is a continent of extraordinary cultural richness defined by beauty, grace, and boundless diversity. Being welcomed into that space to celebrate its fashion and movement, set to the anthemic pulse of Burna Boy, was an invitation I felt truly honoured to receive.”

With this release, “For Everybody” becomes the first full expression of the expansive creative universe Burna Boy and Sporty Group are building — a bold cultural moment celebrating Africa’s past, present, and future on a global stage.
