BLACKPINK Lisa’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Song Faces Backlash Online
Lisa is facing mixed reactions online after the release of “Goals,” the official song connected to the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The track, performed by Lisa alongside Anitta and Rema, was launched ahead of the global football tournament and quickly became one of the most discussed releases on social media.
While many fans praised the collaboration for its energetic sound and international lineup, others criticized the lyrics and overall message of the song.
Netizens Criticize Lyrics and Theme
Shortly after the release, online discussions exploded across social media platforms, with some listeners describing the song as “embarrassing” and “disconnected” from the spirit of the World Cup.
Critics argued that the lyrics focused too heavily on celebrity-style confidence and glamour instead of themes like unity, passion, and global togetherness that are traditionally associated with the tournament.
Some fans expected a more emotional or inspirational anthem that could connect football supporters worldwide.
Others felt the track leaned too much toward modern pop branding rather than capturing the excitement and cultural significance of the World Cup.
Comparisons to Jungkook’s “Dreamers”
The backlash also led to comparisons with Jungkook and his 2022 FIFA World Cup song Dreamers.
Many online users claimed “Dreamers” delivered a more emotional and uplifting message that better reflected the atmosphere of an international football celebration.
Social media debates intensified as fans of both K-pop stars defended their favorite artists and argued over which song better represented the global event.
Fans Continue Supporting Lisa
Despite the criticism, Lisa’s supporters praised her performance, stage presence, and global influence.
Fans highlighted the significance of a K-pop artist being selected for another major international sports project and celebrated the collaboration’s multicultural lineup.
Supporters also pointed out that official World Cup songs often divide public opinion, with many tracks receiving criticism before eventually becoming popular worldwide.
BLACKPINK’s Global Influence Remains Strong
As a member of BLACKPINK, Lisa remains one of the most influential global K-pop stars, with massive international popularity across music, fashion, and social media.
The release of “Goals” further strengthens her growing presence in global entertainment projects beyond traditional K-pop promotions.
Even with mixed reactions online, the song has already generated millions of streams and widespread discussion across international fan communities.
