Robbie Williams has release an all-new version of, 'Desire (Official FIFA Anthem)', featuring Nicole Scherzinger & Laura Pausini.
All three artists will perform the song at the FIFA World Cup Final this Sunday (July 19th) before kickoff. The performance will be broadcast live on BBC One and around the globe to an expected television of audience of close to two billion people.
Robbie previously performed the song with Laura Pausini at the FIFA Club World Cup Final 2025 last July and with Nicole Sherzinger at the Final Draw for the FIFA World Cup 2026 last December, but this is the first time a version featuring all three artists has been released or performed live. The original 03:43 version of the track featuring Laura Pausini was released in July and included on the deluxe edition of his latest album, BRITPOP.

Robbie is one of the most decorated music artists in the world with six of the Top 100 best-selling albums in British history, 90 million album sales worldwide, 16 UK #1 albums and a record 18 BRIT Awards – more than any other artist. He was announced as the Official FIFA Music Ambassador in June 2025 – a global role for FIFA marking a powerful new union between music and football on the world stage.
In his first engagement in his ongoing role, Robbie wrote – alongside Karl Brazil and Owen Parker, with Erik Jan Grob – and recorded the first ever Official FIFA anthem, ‘Desire’ featuring Laura Pausini, to accompany players as they walk onto the pitch across all FIFA tournaments and matches worldwide.
