Dr. Luke circuit and thomas troelsen now initially when the song was released
It had some negative backlash from Brazilians because there like this song didn't show as much
Brazilian flavor as fans would have liked so they also released a music video and change it slightly to feature a more
Afro-brazilian kind of vibe to it. And that was a version being used for the official music video for the song
Alright so number eight is your Sudan adore liqueur they're gone in
1998 and of course that was a year will he also won the World Cup but before the tournament the feeling within the nation was
Very low because supporters lacked a lot of confidence in the team's chances to actually win at the event

responsible for the
Crossover to the mainstream world and actually laying the foundation for the next World Cup songs to follow after Ricky
Martin was given the honours to perform this song. He became a worldwide sensation after that song came out

This song was like really really really close to me because it was done by another fellow
Canadian K'naan and that of course is waving flag waving flag was made for the 2010 FIFA World Cup and
Everybody was talking about k'naan during the 2010 World Cup. This guy had a lot of fans before but when the tournament began

Skyrocketed to fame Keenan originally wrote the song to epitomize the freedom
Aspirations of the people of Somalia but it fits so well of the World Cup theme that they included it as the official anthem
