The song gives each global icon room to shine, starting with LISA, moving into Anitta, and culminating with a fiery closing rap verse from Rema. The accompanying music video perfectly captures the raw energy of the sport. Set inside a vibrant football cage, the visuals are packed with local players freestyling, executing dizzying dribbling tricks, and showcasing the beautiful game's street culture. LISA kicks off the proceedings, immediately drawing viewers in as she moves and grooves to the heavy beat. Sporting a sharp yellow jersey and blue shorts, the K-pop superstar looks like she is having the time of her life.
At the heart of the track is a relentless, hypnotic hook that promises to become a staple everywhere from clubs and gyms to the football grounds - "From the skin under my clothes. From my head to my toes. Yes, I’m goals.”
With its unforgettable rhythm, the song is a certified chartbuster that is likely to stay stuck in the heads of football fans and music lovers alike. For Anitta, the track carries a profound personal connection. “My connection to the World Cup is deeply emotional,” Anitta shared. “I’m Brazilian, after all, so of course I have wonderful memories tied to the Cup. It’s incredibly special now to contribute to its story, collaborating with LISA and Rema on ‘Goals’! I’m so grateful for this opportunity.”
Rema echoed this sentiment of global unity, emphasizing the power of their sonic crossover. “Three continents, one song… bringing all our sounds together like this is a huge moment for music on the global stage.”
The excitement for "Goals" will soon transition from the studio to the stadium. LISA, Anitta, and Rema are locked in to perform as main headliners during the tournament’s opening ceremonies in the United States. They will share the massive stadium stage with a powerhouse lineup of prominent commercial performers, including Katy Perry and Tyla.
This performance marks a milestone for LISA, who will make history as the first female K-pop act and the first Thai artist to headline a FIFA opening ceremony when she takes the stage in Los Angeles on June 12.
FIFA’s 2026 music lineup is shaping up to be its most ambitious yet. Alongside Shakira and Burna Boy’s official tournament song "Dai Dai," "Goals" stands tall as the tournament's premier high-profile anthem, uniting the world through the shared languages of music and football.
