Much known for her iconic Waka Waka (This Time for Africa) anthem for the Fifa World Cup 2010, Colombian singer Shakira has unveiled a new anthem, Dai Dai (featuring Burna Boy), for this year’s tournament.

On Friday, Shakira dropped a short performance clip of the track, filmed at the Maracanã Stadium. The one-minute-seven-second video features the singer tapping her feet to the catchy beats of the song alongside a group of football enthusiasts.
