"Goals" is a song by Thai rapper and singer Lisa, Brazilian singer Anitta, and Nigerian singer Rema. It was released through SALXCO Records on May 21, 2026, as the sixth single from the official album of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Produced by Bava, Cirkut, PinkSlip, and Tropkillaz, it is a cross-cultural collaboration that blends Latin pop, K-pop, and Afrobeats influences.
Background and release
[edit]In March 2026, a registration with the ASCAP revealed a track titled "Goals" crediting Anitta, Lisa, Rema, and the Brazilian production duo Tropkillaz as performers and FIFA itself as a composer.[1][2] Speculation that the song would be part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup soundtrack began circulating immediately.[3][4] On May 19, 2026, Anitta officially announced the collaboration and released a teaser of the song on her social media.[5] "Goals" released on May 21, 2026;[6] the track will be part of the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album.[5]
Composition and lyrics
[edit]"Goals" was produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Cirkut, Bava, PinkSlip,[7] as well as the Brazilian production duo Tropkillaz, who previously worked with both Lisa and Anitta.[8] The collaboration brings together three international acts, with Lisa representing Asia, Anitta representing Latin America, and Rema representing Africa.[9] The song reflects a multilingual and cross-cultural approach, drawing from three continents' worth of cultural influences.[7] Anitta performs in English, Spanish, and Portuguese on the track.[10]
The song has been described as a fusion of Latin pop, K-pop, and Afrobeats,[11] combining fast-paced K-pop elements with Brazilian funk-influenced beats and Afrobeats-style percussion.[10] It has been noted for its energetic tone and percussion-driven production, with each artist bringing their own dynamic flair.[7] FIFA characterized "Goals" as a genre-blending record that moves beyond any single sound or region.[11]
The track features a "relentless, hypnotic" hook built around the lyric "Yes, I’m goals". It is structured to highlight each artist in sequence, beginning with Lisa, followed by Anitta, and concluding with a rap verse from Rema.[12] Lyrically, the song uses football imagery as a metaphor for ambition and perseverance, with lines such as "I got goals, I got dreams, I got visions" emphasizing themes of success and self-confidence.[13]
Music video
[edit]An accompanying music video for "Goals" was directed by Chris Villa and released alongside the single on YouTube.[14] Set inside a football cage, the clip intersperses scenes of the artists with footage of intense football matches, with local players freestyling, dribbling, and showcasing the game's street culture. Lisa begins the video as she dances wearing a yellow jersey and blue shorts.[12] It then transitions to Anitta performing in a football field surrounded by blue flames, ending with Rema rapping in a smoky, red-tinted room.[15]
Live performances
[edit]Lisa, Anitta, and Rema performed "Goals" for the first time live as headliners for the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, which took place on June 12, 2026 at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles.[10] The performance made Lisa the first female K-pop act and the first Thai artist to headline a FIFA opening ceremony in history.[12]
