For the Qatar World Cup, three songs, in English, French, Arabic, and Spanish, have been released. You can listen to them above. These songs are beautiful fusions of cultures with artistes from multiple ethnicities coming together to collaborate.

The music video of the latest track, titled 'Light The Sky', features Moroccan-Canadian actress Nora Faethi who has appeared in a number of Indian films in Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam languages. Emirati-Yemeni singer Balqees appears and provides vocals to the song. The song does not have any discernible relation with the tournament, but can become a cool party track.
