Overview
- FIFA released the song on streaming services and opened the World Cup with a live premiere at Estadio Azteca on Thursday where Andrea Bocelli and K‑pop artist EJAE performed before Mexico’s opening match.
- David Guetta is credited as the song’s lead producer and the studio version blends orchestral, electronic, pop and hip‑hop elements with Megan Thee Stallion providing a rap section.
- EJAE contributed Korean‑language lyrics for the recording and shared the stage with Bocelli for the first public performance of the anthem.
- The opening ceremony staged all 48 teams’ flags around the pitch and a synchronized choreography intended to visually underscore the tournament’s message of unity and inclusion.
- FIFA positioned 'DNA' within an 18‑song official album that includes global names such as Shakira and Burna Boy as part of a deliberate strategy to broaden the event’s cultural reach and shape the fan experience.
