The song has been written by both Shakira and British singer-songwriter, Ed Sheeran. The original track incorporates elements of pop music and African beats.
This song became quite popular across all major streaming platforms soon after its release. According to reports, it has been viewed over 218 million times on YouTube, and climbed to the top five in Spotify’s Global Chart. It has become one of the most popular football songs of the tournament.
Dai Dai also received the honour from Billboard as the greatest ever official World Cup song. It even crossed the popularity of Waka Waka (This Time for Africa), which was released in 2010 as an official song for the World Cup held in South Africa. The Spanish version of Dai Dai is yet another addition to Shakira’s legacy of FIFA World Cup songs.
