“Hayya Hayya (Better Togheter)” is the first official song that FIFA presented to promote the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The song, played by American Trinidad Cardona, Nigerian Davido and Qatari Aisha, is one of those that will eventually be released until the opening date in November of this year.
“Bringing together voices from the Americas, Africa and the Middle East, this song symbolizes how music and football can unite the world,” said FIFA Commercial Director Kay Madati, who also added: “As part of FIFA's renewed musical strategy, the soundtrack composed of several songs will bring fans closer together passionate about the spirit of the FIFA World Cup like never before.”
However, the single, which has influences from R&B and reggae, generated a wave of divided opinions on social media. A large number of users asked, via Twitter, that FIFA once again summon Shakira to participate in the official soundtrack of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Let's remember that the Colombian singer was chosen to perform “Waka Waka”, official song of the 2010 World Cup South Africa, which was number #1 in 50 countries and sold more than 15 million copies worldwide, according to information taken from Billboard. Apparently, netizens still have the illusion of seeing the Latino artist again at the Football World Cup and they made it known through funny memes.
