Mixed Reactions Emerge Over Lisa's FIFA Anthem and World Cup Songs

Analysed 3 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·London, United Kingdom·Entertainment
Mixed Reactions Emerge Over Lisa's FIFA Anthem and World Cup SongsPreviousNext

K-pop star Lisa's FIFA anthem 'Goals' has sparked mixed reactions, with critics pointing to lyrics unrelated to football and a shift from traditional themes of unity to more personal and materialistic content. Defenders note its Gen Z appeal and football references. Similarly, Shakira's World Cup song 'Dai Dai' faces criticism for its African imagery despite its motivational tone. Historically, FIFA anthems often receive initial backlash but gain nostalgic appreciation over time.
