Opera, electronica and pop merge in “DNA”, the song by Andrea Bocelli, David Guetta and EJAE that celebrates identity, unity and passion for football

The inauguration of FIFA World Cup 2026 was marked by the performances of world-class stars such as Shakira, Burna Boy and Los Ángeles Azules. One of the highlights was the debut of “DNA” (ADN, in Spanish), which brought together artists such as Andrea Bocelli and EJAE.

It was during one of the highlights of the opening ceremony, the parade of the flags of the 48 countries that will compete in the twenty-third edition of the FIFA World Cup, when the Italian Andrea Bocelli and EJAE, from South Korea, joined their voices.

The moment began when Salma Hayek, official ambassador and welcoming godmother of the ceremony, gave way to the sports meeting between the Mexican and South African teams. In his speech he highlighted that the flags represented the 48 nations qualified for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

This event took place from the Mexico City Stadium —Azteca Stadium—. Forming a circle in the middle of the stadium, which had the logo of the planet Earth, Andrea Bocelli and EJAE performed “DNA”, based on the musical base created by David Guetta.

As the flags waved, the renowned tenor began to perform the song in Italian, his native language. Then, EJAE continued in Korean a composition that highlights the unity, passion and sense of belonging that soccer generates.

The song, which is part of the Official Album of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, also features performances by Megan Thee Stallion and French producer David Guetta, showing how different generations and nations can come together to celebrate football.

The performance mixed languages ​​such as Italian, English and Korean in lyrics that celebrate collective identity. His verses include: “Hey, this is more than a game. It’s our DNA” and “Raise your flags in the sky. Let fate decide.”

The song also proclaims, “Hey, we’re not going to break up, we’re here today because this is more than a game. It’s our DNA,” a message that resonated as the flags of the participating nations waved.

Media such as Expresso highlight that “Bocelli brings classic elegance, Guetta electronic modernity, Megan Thee Stallion the strength of hip-hop and EJAE multicultural sensitivity.”
