Jungkook ‘Dreamers’ Vs Shakira ‘Waka Waka’

How amazing it is to think that despite being released a decade apart from one another, both songs, Waka Waka and Dreamers, have captured the same zeal and emotion in FIFA fans. Since both the artists and their work have dominated the music industry in the past, are currently doing the same, and will continue to do so in the future as well, debating which is the best FIFA anthem practically won't generate any results.

FIFA and it’s iconic anthem

Senior FIFA fans may experience a sense of nostalgia as they reflect on how far they and their passion for football have come. They grew up listening to Waka Waka, but it's likely that the younger generation prefers Dreamers to the older tune. Regardless, both songs have cemented their places in history.

Shakira's "Waka Waka," the 2010 FIFA World Cup anthem, has been a pop culture cult classic for 12 years, Similar responses to Jungkook's performance, which was praised by swarms of ARMYs and FIFA fans is definitely recreating the magic and we are in love with every aspect of it.

Waka Waka passed the crown to Dreamers

When BTS began to soar in the Pandemic, they made sure that they had come to stay, elevating Asian identity to a whole new level, and now singing for such a prominent stage is a tremendous accomplishment. The opinions of the general population, which seem to be equal on both sides this time, are what really count, thus it would be more accurate to state that Shakira's song "Waka Waka" just handed the title to "Dreamers."
