Shakira’s ‘La La La’ is the new FIFA World Cup song

LONDON: Colombian pop star Shakira has recorded a second official World Cup song after the superhit ‘Waka Waka South Africa’ anthem back in 2010.
The 37-year-old star, dating Spain defender Gerard Pique, has penned ‘La La La’ — a reworked version of new song Dare, for this summer’s Brazil event, reported Daily Star.
“It is an upbeat, Brazilian track. The lyrics are personal and I have actually recorded a version for the World Cup,” Shakira said.
Even the singer’s son Milan features on the track. “I was in the studio and Milan came in to hang out in the afternoon. I had him on my lap and he was listening and then when it came to the end of the song, he just went ‘myah’,” she said.
Shakira met ‘the love of her life’ four years ago at the FIFA World Cup in South Africa when he was 23.
After a five-year break, Shakira is back with a new, self-titled album.
But music has always been in her blood.
“I was given a typewriter from Santa Claus when I was seven years old,” she said. “It all went from there.”
She says getting Rihanna for her lead single ‘Can’t Remember To Forget You’ was easy.
“Rihanna is very sweet, very humble, very warm. She is not a diva at all. She was a treat, I feel humbled and very honored to work with her,” she said.
