Over the decades, the FIFA World Cup has given us songs, some are forgettable while others are evergreen, always having a spot in our hearts.
Which edition of the FIFA World Cup gave us the best song?
For me, I'd go with 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, where we were introduced to Shakira's Waka Waka. That song is a masterpiece!

Well since I’m an African I will always go with Waka Waka. I remember then how I used to sing the wrong lyrics, samina mina eh eh. 😅

Yes, that's a song as little kids we love to dance to whenever there's a match. I don't even know how to sing the lyrics but I love the vibes. My childhood was made lovely by that.
 
Yes o while growing up most of us do not know the lyrics. But we dance and vibe to it nonetheless. Those were the good old days.

Those good old days are what I cherished most and I can always remember them as much I want. One of the memory is this song and whenever I hear it now, I will be very happy.
 
It is difficult to say which FIFA World Cup song is the best. Each track has its own characteristics. For me, “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” by Shakira feat. Freshlyground (2010, South Africa) is the best.
It’s the most-viewed World Cup song on YouTube (over 4 billion views) and holds a Guinness World Record for most streamed World Cup song on Spotify, showing its lasting appeal. Billboard called it the “most addictive” World Cup song. Its danceable groove and motivational lyrics (“You’re a good soldier, picking your battles”) make it a staple at stadiums and beach bars.
