Burna Boy Announces First Single of 2026, “For Everybody,” With Star-Studded Video

Global Afrobeats icon Burna Boy has officially kicked off his 2026 music run, confirming the release of his first single of the year alongside a high-profile, star-studded music video.

In an official announcement, the African Giant revealed that he has partnered with sports broadcasting powerhouse SportyTV for the release of a new track titled “For Everybody,” scheduled to drop on Friday, January 16, 2026.

A Cinematic Crossover of Music and Football

The announcement arrived with a cinematic teaser that immediately set social media buzzing. The visuals hint at appearances from some of the most recognizable names in European football, with rumors suggesting cameos from elite stars in both the Premier League and La Liga. While the full cast remains under wraps, the project promises to blur the lines between football culture and global music.

“For the Dreamers, the Ballers, the Outsiders”

Sharing the teaser, Burna Boy accompanied the reveal with a caption that reflects his long-standing themes of ambition, resilience, and global identity:

“For the dreamers, the ballers, the outsiders, FOR EVERYBODY!”

Building on a Monumental 2025

The release follows a landmark 2025 for Burna Boy, marked by the arrival of his eighth studio album, No Sign of Weakness, and a historic appearance alongside England Women’s national team manager Sarina Wiegman after the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 triumph.

With “For Everybody,” Burna Boy sets the tone for what looks to be another dominant year uniting music, sport, and global culture in signature African Giant fashion.
