Quintana Roo — Mexican singer Carín León and American artist Jelly Roll will perform the first official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, a musical project that aims to fuse cultures through sports and music.
The two artists are collaborating on a track titled “Lighter,” which will be part of the official World Cup album and is scheduled for release on March 20.
This song will kick off a series of musical productions promoted by FIFA, designed to accompany the experience of the most important international soccer tournament and connect with audiences worldwide.
The project holds particular significance because the 2026 World Cup will be jointly hosted by Mexico, the United States, and Canada, making the collaboration between a Mexican and an American artist reflective of this union between host nations.
A preview of the track has already been shared on social media, showcasing a contemporary musical approach that partially departs from the traditional regional Mexican style characteristic of Carín León, opting instead for a more global sound.
This participation also solidifies the international growth of the Sonoran singer, who has established himself as one of the Mexican artists with the greatest global reach.
With this release, FIFA revives the tradition of linking soccer with music, creating anthems that transcend generations and become part of each World Cup’s identity, now with a proposal that promises to connect different cultures through a shared rhythm.
The Sonoran singer-songwriter will perform at the Cancún Bullring this Friday in a concert that promises to take his fans through a journey of his greatest hits.
