Piala Dunia tanpa soundtrack resmi bagaikan sayur tanpa garam, dan untuk edisi Qatar 2022, Hayya Hayya (Better Together) dipilih menjadi lagu yang akan dikumandangkan di sepanjang turnamen.
Hayya Hayya sendiri dinyanyikan oleh penyanyi multiras, mulai dari musisi Amerika Serikat Trinidad Cardona, penyanyi Nigeria Davido dan bintang Qatar AISHA.
Lagu ini diproduksi oleh RedOne dan diperkenalkan ke publik pada 1 April 2022 kemarin, selagi video klipnya juga dirilis di tanggal yang sama.
Sejak Kapan Piala Dunia Menggunakan Soundtrack?
Diketahui edisi Chile 1962 menjadi turnamen pertama yang memakai lagu resmi untuk Piala Dunia, dengan judul ‘El Rock del Mundial’.
Dari sana, soundtrack acara sepakbola terbesar empat tahunan itu menjadi sebuah keharusan dan yang paling diingat bagi generasi sekarang adalah We Are The Champions yang dibawakan Queen pada 1994 di Amerika Serikat, La Copa de la Vida dari Ricky Martin (Prancis ’98) sampai Waka Waka dari Shakira (Afrika Selatan 2010).
