Shakira, a Colombian singer, collaborated with the South African band Freshlyground on the song "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)," also known as "Waka Waka" in Spanish. Shakira and John Hill co-wrote, composed, and produced the song.
The official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which was hosted in South Africa, was Waka Waka, which was published on May 7 by Epic Records.
One of the all-time top-selling singles, "Waka Waka" reached number one on record charts in more than 20 different nations.
The idea behind the music video is to transport the audience to Africa at the end of a journey across the globe. Several football players, including Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, make cameo appearances in it.

(feat. Freshlyground)
Ooooooooooeeeeeeee~~~ Ehhhhh~

You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up
And dust yourself off
Get back in the saddle
You're on the front line
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
This isn't over
The pressure's on
You feel it
But you got it all
Believe it
When you fall get up, oh oh
If you fall get up, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
'Cause this is Africa

This time for Africa
Listen to your God
This is our motto
Your time to shine
Don't wait in line
Y vamos por todo
People are raising
Their expectations
Go on and feed them
This is your moment
No hesitation
Today's your day
I feel it
You paved the way
