Nigerian artiste, Davido, has expressed gratitude to FIFA for allowing him to be a part of the team that worked on this year's official soundtrack for the World Cup.
In a number of tweets related to the soundtrack; Hayya Hayya meaning Better Together, Davido wrote: "I'm honoured to be featured on the official FIFA World Cup 2022 Soundtrack."

"It is the first time that the tournament’s soundtrack will feature a multi-song collection, with international artists showcasing diverse musical genres that span the world, setting the tone for a truly global celebration," FIFA added.
