Will Smith’s 2018 FIFA World Cup anthem is HERE

What do you think?

How’s everyone’s day going? Good? Well, Will Smith and company have dropped the official 2018 World Cup song!

Will Smith stands alongside artists Nicky Jam & Era Istrefi on the song, while the production was handled by Diplo.

The pressure is on for the collaboration, as the World Cup anthem has to be fire or else that specific World Cup is tarnished. I’m kidding, the World Cup always is fire.

A good song, however, makes the endless commercials and promos that much easier to watch. With that being said, what are your initial thoughts? How does it compare to the other World Cup anthems?

For some reference, let’s take a look at some of the past World Cup songs, shall we?

Shakira - Waka Waka

You know why this song has almost 2 billion views on Youtube and it came it out eight years ago? Because it’s freaking fire.

Ricky Martin - La Copa de la Vida

I’ll admit, I was 2 years old when this World Cup happened. HOWEVER, hearing this years later I understand why there was a Ricky Martin album in the house. Because it’s lit that’s why.

No matter what you think about the anthem, one thing is clear.

Will Smith is back in the booth and it’s OVER for all you rappers.

I’m kidding. Everyone continue making music as you were. Please. Will Smith is awesome. You are awesome. Everything is awesome.
