== History ==
For the first time since [[One Love, One Rhythm – The 2014 FIFA World Cup Official Album|2014]], a multi-song FIFA World Cup official soundtrack was released, instead of one official song which was the case in [[Live It Up (Nicky Jam song)|2018]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Official Soundtrack |url=https://www.qatar2022.qa/en/official-soundtrack |work=qatar2022.qa}}</ref> The first song of the album is "[[Hayya Hayya (Better Together)]]", performed by [[Trinidad Cardona]], [[Davido]] and AISHA, released on 1 April 2022 along with the music video.<ref>{{Cite web |date=1 April 2022 |title=FIFA World Cup Official Soundtrack kicks off with Hayya Hayya (Better Together) |url=https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/mens/worldcup/qatar2022/media-releases/trinidad-cardona-joins-davido-and-aisha-for-hayya-hayya-better-together-the |access-date=1 April 2022 |publisher=FIFA}}</ref> The second song is "Arhbo", performed by [[Gims]] and [[Ozuna]], released on 19 August 2022 along with the music video.<ref>{{Cite web |date=20 August 2022 |title='Arhbo' de Gims, chanson officielle du Mondial 2022 au Qatar |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.fr/culture/article/arhbo-de-gims-chanson-officielle-du-mondial-2022-au-qatar_206776.html |access-date=21 August 2022 |website=Le HuffPost |language=fr}}</ref>

== Development and Purpose ==
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 Official Soundtrack was curated to highlight Qatar’s cultural heritage and values<ref>{{Cite web |last=Tusing |first=David |title=All the Fifa World Cup Qatar 2022 songs released so far |url=https://www.thenationalnews.com/fifa-world-cup-2022/2022/11/18/all-the-fifa-world-cup-qatar-2022-songs-released-so-far/ |access-date=2024-11-25 |website=The National |language=en}}</ref> while appealing to a global audience. By blending traditional Arabic sounds, modern pop, and multilingual lyrics, the soundtrack aimed to represent Qatar’s commitment to hospitality, unity, and inclusivity. This blend of styles symbolized the host nation’s effort to bridge its cultural identity with the global nature of the World Cup.
== Previous Cups ==
The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 soundtrack represented a unique approach compared to previous host nations. While Brazil’s 2014 World Cup soundtrack focused heavily on samba and local musical traditions, Qatar merged Middle Eastern sounds with international pop styles<ref>{{Cite web |title=FIFA World Cup Song Will Impact Public Perceptions of the Region |url=https://www.qatarmoments.com/fifa-world-cup-song-will-impact-public-perceptions-of-the-region-470980.html |access-date=2024-11-25 |website=Qatar Moments |language=en}}</ref>. This approach not only highlighted Qatar’s cultural heritage but also showcased its modernity and willingness to connect with a global audience. This juxtaposition emphasized Qatar’s effort to represent itself as both traditional and progressive on the international stage.
