The 2026 World Cup not only produced unforgettable moments on the field, but also a musical phenomenon that captivated millions of fans. “Superestrella,” one of Aitana’s biggest hits, became the Spanish national team’s anthem after FIFA chose the song to play in the stadiums every time La Roja scored a goal during the tournament.
That decision ultimately turned the song into one of the tournament’s most iconic musical symbols. With each celebration by the Spanish team, the single echoed through the World Cup stadiums and became associated with the team’s journey to winning the title against Argentina.
Although the song was released in May 2025 as part of the album *Cuarto azul*, the World Cup gave it new international exposure and helped it achieve even greater popularity with the public.
A phenomenon that took social media by storm
“Superestrella’s” constant presence during the celebrations in Spain sparked a real frenzy on social media.
Thousands of fans began sharing videos, photos, and memes using the song as the soundtrack for the national team’s goals and celebrations. The association between the song and the Spanish national team grew with each match, eventually making it—for many fans—the unofficial anthem of the championship-winning team.
The trend gained even more momentum after the World Cup final, when videos of players celebrating their championship victory to the song flooded platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and X.
What began as a musical decision inside the stadiums ended up becoming one of the most talked-about cultural phenomena of the tournament.
The impact of the World Cup also boosted the performance of “Superestrella” on streaming services.
Currently, the song has over 220 million streams on Spotify and ranks first on the “Éxitos España” chart, where it even ranked higher than the Spanish national team’s official anthem.
In addition, Aitana’s photo graces the cover of that popular playlist, cementing the singer’s current surge in popularity thanks to the single’s resurgence.
The increase in streams shows how Spain’s athletic success once again propelled a song that was already one of the most important in the Catalan artist’s career.
Aitana joined in the celebrations for the Spanish championship
After winning the world title, Aitana also took part in the celebrations held at the Cibeles Communications Palace, one of the traditional venues where Spanish fans celebrate major sporting achievements.
During the event, the singer performed “Superestrella” in front of thousands of fans, who sang along to every verse while the players celebrated Spain’s second World Cup victory.
The footage showed the artist singing, dancing, and sharing the stage with the soccer players in an atmosphere of euphoria that quickly went viral online.
Although it was never intended to be a buzzy soccer song, “Superestrella” ended up holding a special place in fans’ memories thanks to its constant presence throughout Spain’s run in the 2026 World Cup.
Its use in stadiums, its success on digital platforms, and Aitana’s participation in the official celebrations cemented the single’s status as one of the tournament’s biggest musical highlights.
As a result, the song went on to become one of the album’s biggest hits Blue Room to become the unofficial anthem of a national team that wrote a new golden chapter in the history of Spanish soccer.
