Shakira has released the full Spanish version of her hit summer single Dai Dai, featuring Nigerian musician Burna Boy, on digital streaming platforms.
The track served as the official anthem for the football World Cup tournament won by Spain. It reached the top spot globally across major digital streaming services and broke numerical streaming records throughout the summer.
The Colombian singer dropped the complete recording on Friday afternoon in Spain following weeks of anticipation from Spanish speaking listeners. Prior to the full digital release, preview teasers had aired on Univision before a Colombia match and on her Instagram account days before the World Cup final.
Global Fan Response
Listeners flooded the comment section under the video on her YouTube channel to praise the new Spanish recording. Fans across Latin America encouraged fellow listeners to stream the song to push it to the top of music charts.
Commenters described the Spanish lyrics as wonderful and motivational, noting that while the song sounded beautiful in English, it sounded glorious in Spanish. Many listeners highlighted how the song captured universal values of resilience, falling down, and rising again in daily life.
Audience members commended the track for delivering uplifting messages without relying on vulgarity or sexualised themes. Several supporters described the track as art made into music and crowned the singer as the queen of the World Cup.
Spanish radio network Cadena 100 noted that the Barranquilla native successfully translated football values into general life principles, establishing her as one of the most prominent Spanish language voices in popular music.
Artist Background and Legacy
Shakira, born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll in Barranquilla, Colombia, is a multi Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter. She is widely recognised as one of the most successful Latin music artists in history, having previously recorded official tournament anthems including Hips Don't Lie and Waka Waka for global sporting events.
Upcoming European Residency in Spain
The release comes as the singer prepares to conclude her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour with an ambitious European residency in Spain. The tour will feature a collection of 12 concert dates scheduled across September and October.
The performance dates in Spain include September 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, and 27, followed by October 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, and 11. The singer lived in Spain for a decade and chose the country for her final tour leg due to her positive memories there.
As part of the upcoming concerts, a dedicated venue named Estadio Shakira is being constructed at the Iberdrola Music complex in Spain. The specialized facility will serve as the central hub for the concerts and will offer visitors music performances, interactive activities, and food options.
The upcoming residency follows other recent milestone live appearances for the artist, including a stage collaboration with English singer Ed Sheeran to perform an unreleased version of her song Underneath Your Clothes, as well as a social media campaign updating a meme from 30 years earlier in her career.
