Ayra Starr has secured a huge global look with “Show Me,” her new track with Latto that appears on the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album. The Nigerian star becomes the only Nigerian female artist on the project, joining a stacked lineup that includes Shakira, Burna Boy, Davido and Rema as part of what FIFA is calling an “extraordinarily strong music squad” for the tournament.
“Show Me” pairs Ayra’s feather‑light melodies with Latto’s punchy verse over a glossy, stadium‑ready beat, leaning into the kind of euphoric Afropop that can work both in highlight montages and on festival stages. Early streaming numbers have been strong, with the song crossing 80,000 Spotify plays in its first full day and quickly spreading across fan pages and football content. A reel breaking down Ayra’s role on the soundtrack and the significance of her being the only Nigerian woman on the album can be seen here.
Beyond the numbers, the placement underscores just how central Nigerian pop has become to global sports culture, following Burna Boy and Tems’ 2023 Champions League moments and Davido’s 2022 World Cup appearance. For Ayra, who’s already been on a world tour and broken into multiple international charts, a World Cup soundtrack slot is another step in cementing her status as one of Afrobeats’ most exportable voices.
The track will live alongside “Dai Dai,” the official tournament anthem from Shakira and Burna Boy, and other collaborative cuts featuring stars from the host nations and beyond. Fans can expect to hear “Show Me” woven into FIFA’s broader content push around the competition, from promo clips to in‑stadium playlists, keeping Ayra’s sound in constant rotation throughout the tournament window.
For Ayra’s core audience, the World Cup moment is both a personal win and a symbolic one—a sign that young African women are not just participating in global pop culture but helping to define its biggest stages.
