WOMEN'S WORLD CUP 2023
Official song for 2023 Women’s World Cup released
‘Do It Again’ by New Zealand’s Benee and Australian artist Mallrat has been unveiled as the official song for the forthcoming tournament.
FIFA have confirmed that the official song for the forthcoming Women’s World Cup 2023 will be Do It Again by Benee and Mallrat with the track set for official release on 29 June.
Both Benee and Mallrat hail from host nations, New Zealand and Australia respectively and have established successful careers as recording artists in their home nations with Benee having secured more than a billion-streams of her repertoire across online platforms.
On 20 July both artists will perform Do It Again at the World Cup opening ceremony at Eden Park ahead of the clash between co-hosts New Zealand and 1995 winners Norway in Auckland.
‘Dream come true’
“Being a small part of this incredible celebration of women’s sport is an absolute dream come true for me,” said Benee (Stella Bennett). “As a keen young football player I just couldn’t have imagined this! I’ve loved the experience of writing a song which I hope reflects my excitement at having the world’s biggest women’s sports event held on my home turf, and I can’t wait to perform Do It Again live with Mallrat at the opening ceremony.”
Grace Shaw aka Mallrat added: “I was so excited when FIFA asked me to be involved in this massive event, alongside Benee, who is one of my favourite artists and also people. I am really looking forward to this experience and feel super grateful that I get to share it with my friend.”
