The international football federation FIFA revealed on March 20 which song will serve as the official World Cup song from the host nation USA, according to an official announcement. The chosen track is country rapper Jelly Roll's 'Lighter', which FIFA confirmed as the official selection. However, the song has not received a warm reception from football supporters, as reported by official sources.
It remains unclear why supporters have reacted negatively to 'Lighter', and what criteria FIFA used to select it over other potential songs. Additionally, how Jelly Roll or FIFA have responded to the lack of enthusiasm from fans has not been disclosed, nor have details emerged about other songs considered for the role or the typical process for such selections.
