The official album of the 2026 World Cup continues to grow. This Friday, May 8, FIFA presented “Illuminate”, the fourth single from the official album of the largest tournament in world football, performed by Jessie Reyez and Elyanna.
The song, produced by Cirkut, winner of several Grammy awards, fuses alternative R&B, pop and Middle Eastern influences in a musical proposal that seeks to connect cultures through football and music. According to FIFA, the theme “brims with energy and cultural rhythms to enlighten fans around the world.”
Jessie Reyez is a Canadian singer and songwriter known for her unique style that blends pop with alternative R&B, while Elyanna is a Palestinian-Chilean artist who has gained international recognition for her compositions that fuse Middle Eastern sounds with contemporary pop music. Both artists will allocate the proceeds from the project to various charitable causes, adding a solidarity component to a collaboration that promises to become one of the anthems of the 2026 World Cup.
With “Illuminate”, the official album of the 2026 World Cup adds its fourth single after the previous releases of “Lighter” by Jelly Roll and Carín León, “Por Ella” by Los Ángeles Azules and Belinda, and “Echo” by Daddy Yankee and Shenseea.
Each song brings a cultural perspective and a unique sound to the musical project that accompanies the tournament that will kick off on June 11 at the Azteca Stadium in Mexico City, in what promises to be a soundtrack as diverse and multicultural as the tournament itself.
The choice of Jessie Reyez and Elyanna for “Illuminate” reflects FIFA’s commitment to representing the cultural diversity of the 48 teams that will participate in the 2026 World Cup. With artists from Canada, the Arab world, Mexico, Colombia and Jamaica in the first four singles, the official album of the tournament seeks to connect with fans from all corners of the planet in an edition that for the first time will be held in three countries: the United States, Mexico and Canada.
