The soundtrack to the FIFA World Cup 2026 is getting even bigger. Days after Shakira was announced as the official anthem singer, FIFA has unveiled “Illuminate,” a bold new collaboration from Jessie Reyez and Elyanna as the fourth release from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album.
Produced by Grammy-winning hitmaker Cirkut, the track blends alternative R&B, global pop, and Middle Eastern influences. The song is now available across all major streaming platforms.

“Illuminate” is one of the most emotionally driven songs released so far from the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 Album. The song doesn’t lean entirely into stadium-ready energy, but takes a more intimate and atmospheric direction while still carrying the scale expected from a World Cup soundtrack.
Jessie Reyez, known for her fearless songwriting and emotionally raw vocals, brings her signature alternative R&B style to the collaboration.
Over the years, Reyez has built a loyal international fanbase through deeply personal music.

The collaboration also carries a philanthropic message. Reyez is donating her artist fee from the song to charitable causes, while Elyanna plans to support initiatives tied to the global moment surrounding the tournament.

So far, the Education Fund has already raised more than $30 million. FIFA also confirmed via press release that $1 from every ticket sold to FIFA World Cup 2026 matches will be donated throughout the tournament to continue building momentum.
