Shakira reportedly submitted “Dai Dai,” her collaboration with Burna Boy, for Grammy consideration across four categories this awards season. The reported entries include Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Global Music, and Best Music Video categories today.
Released as the FIFA World Cup 2026 song, “Dai Dai” combines Shakira’s Latin pop style with Burna Boy’s Afrobeats sound. Their collaboration connects audiences across continents, blending musical influences while celebrating football’s biggest international tournament and its unifying power worldwide.
Record of the Year recognizes the recording, including performance and production, while Song of the Year honors songwriting and composition contributions. These categories assess different creative contributions, meaning one track can receive consideration for distinct aspects of its musical creation overall.
Best Global Music could spotlight the song’s cross-cultural sound, reflecting collaboration between Colombian superstar Shakira and Nigerian artist Burna Boy. Meanwhile, Best Music Video consideration recognizes the visual presentation accompanying the track, provided the submission meets Academy eligibility requirements for review.
The Recording Academy reviews submissions for eligibility before voting members determine which recordings advance to the official nominations ballot process. Grammy consideration does not guarantee a nomination; the final shortlist depends on the Academy’s voting process and members’ final decisions.
Shakira previously delivered a landmark World Cup anthem with “Waka Waka,” while Burna Boy expands Afrobeats’ global reach through collaborations.
