Dari dulu sampai sekarang, Shakira selalu menjadi penyanyi yang melekat banget sama theme song Piala Dunia. Mulai dari "Waka"Waka, Shakira hampir tak tergantikan jika membahas soal lagu ikonik Piala Dunia.
Nah, di Piala Dunia 2026 ini, Shakira kembali bakal merilis lagu anthem Piala Dunia berjudul "Dai Dai". Hingga saat ini, Shakira setidaknya sudah merilis empat lagi spesial bertema Piala Dunia yang semuanya ikonik. Apa saja?
Sebelum ikonik karena "Waka Waka", Shakira sudah lebih dulu mencuri perhatian di Piala Dunia 2006. Awalnya, ia merilis lagu berjudul “Hips Don't Lie” bersama dengan Wyclef Jean pada 2005. Lalu, lagu ini dirilis ulang setahun kemudian dengan embel-embel Bamboo Remix untuk dijadikan anthem Piala Dunia 2006 Jerman. Meski bukan lagu official, "Hips Don't Lie (Bamboo Remix) dipakai besar-besaran selama turnamen tersebut.
Melihat antusiasme fans dan popularitas lagu tersebut, Shakira kemudian diundang untuk menjadi penampil di closing ceremony Piala Dunia 2006 menyanyikan lagu ini.

Perfection, perfection
I never really knew that she could dance like this
She make a man wanna speak Spanish
Cómo se llama, bonita?
Mi casa, su casa
Oh baby, when you talk like that
You make a woman go mad
So be wise and keep on
Reading the signs of my body (Uno, dos, tres, cuatro)
No fighting
I'm on tonight
You know my hips don't lie (No fighting)
And I'm starting to feel it's right (Yeah)
Ay, ay, ay, do the bamboo
La gloria te está esperando
Latino, (Oh!) Africano! (Oh!)
Asiático, Americano, tu Dios te está mirando!

I'm a student of Pelé, call me Pelé player
Eleven on the field with the heart of a gladiator
One: goal, two: goal, three: goal, goal!
I'ma play till my knees grow low
One: goal, two: goal, three: goal, goal!
Everybody in the FIFA, in the final state, go
And my football jersey says Maradona
And the crowd chants sounds like spirits from Africa

You're a good soldier, choosing your battles
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off, get back in the saddle
You're on the front line, everyone's watching
You know it's serious, we're getting closer, this isn't over
The pressure's on, you feel it
But you got it all, believe it
When you fall get up, oh-oh
And if you fall get up, eh-eh

Your time to shine, don't wait in line y vamos por todo
People are raising their expectations
Go on and feed 'em, this is your moment, no hesitations
Today's your day, I feel it
You paved the way, believe it
If you get down, get up, oh-oh
When you get down, get up, eh-eh

Pada 2014, Shakira lagi-lagi ikut andil menyumbang lagu buat Piala Dunia di Brasil. Kali ini, dia tidak menyanyikan lagu utama karena spot tersebut diambil oleh Pitbull dan Jennifer Lopez. Namun, Shakira sekali lagi membuktikan kalau ia adalah ratunya theme song Piala Dunia. Merilis lagu “La La La” yang masuk album resmi soundtrack Piala Dunia 2014, popularitas lagu Shakira ini lebih meledak dibandingkan dengan lagu tema utamanya.
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la, la (La-la-la)
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la, la (I dare you)
Feel how the planet's become one
Beats like a drum to the same rhythm
Hear the whistle, kick the ball
The entire world soars like an eagle
In Rio, we play like we dance
Only today, there's no tomorrow
Leave all behind, in this place
There's no space for fear or sorrow
Is it true that you want it?
Then act like you mean it
With everyone watchin'
It's truth or dare, can you feel it?
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la, la (La-la-la)
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la, la (I dare you)
You have arrived, it's the place
No more doubts, the time is coming
Feel how the planet's become one
Like a drum, destiny's calling
German, Colombians, Spanish and French
Off the bench, you gotta own it
Down here, we play like we dance
It's Brazil, and now you know it
Is it true that you want it?
Then act like you mean it
With everyone watchin'
It's truth or dare, can you feel it?
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la, la (La-la-la)
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
La, la, la-la-la, la (I dare you)
Is it true that you want it?
Then act like you mean it (Olá, olá)
The whole world is watchin' (Olá, olá)
It's truth or dare, can you feel it?
Feel it, feel it (Olá, olá)
Feel, feel, feel, feel (Olá, olá)
Feel-feel-feel-feel-feel-feel-feel-feel (Olá, olá)
F… (Olá, olá)
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la, la (La-la-la)
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la
La, la, la-la-la, la (I dare you)
