Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Lisa, Anitta, and Rema released the song “Goals” as the official song for the tournament.
While some fans loved the song, it came under immense scrutiny from netizens.
Some hit back about the message of the song, and while the World Cup is meant to be about countries coming together, the lyrics seemed superficial and were even dubbed as self-obsessed.
a world cup song is supposed to be about people from different cultures coming together through football, and here she is singing about looking good and sticking her tongue out 😭 https://t.co/BI3jFpdzHV

the world cup is supposed to be a family friendly broadcast promoting unity, peace, & togetherness

In particular, it sparked comparisons to BTS Jungkook‘s song “Dreamers.”
“Gather around now look at me, respect and love the only way. If you wanna come, come with me. The doors open now everyday” there was a time when World cup songs used to be about togetherness pic.twitter.com/Dy4b80FFJg
