WORLD CUP 2018
Will Smith and Nicky Jam World Cup track to 'drop' Friday
Reggaeton artist Nicky Jam and veteran actor-singer Will Smith have teamed up with Era Istrefi to record the official FIFA 2018 World Cup song "Live it Up".
Nicky Jam, Will Smith and Kosovar artist Era Istrefi have recorded the official song for the forthcoming Russia World Cup with the track "Live it Up" officially released on Friday May 25th.
The track was recorded in Budapest and produced by in-vogue American producer DJ Diplo and will be released globally on all digital platforms ahead of the tournament which kicks-off in Moscow when the host nation play Saudi Arabia.
The official song ahead of the biggest tournament in football is a tradition dating back to 1962 when Los Ramblers recorded the track "El rock del mundial". Since then, recording artists such as Ricky Martin, Shakira (who ended up meeting a certain Barcelona player as a result), Jennifer López and Pitbull have proved the official FIFA tune.
