The producer corrals an all-star all-Canadian cast to celebrate FIFA World Cup summer 2026. With the FIFA World Cup touching down on Canadian soil in June 2026 for the first time ever, the country’s national footie organization—Canada Soccer—has deemed the occasion worthy of a celebratory all-star soundtrack. And they couldn’t have chosen a better musical ambassador to lead the project than Boi-1da, the Grammy Award-winning producer who helped catapult Drake to global domination. For WHAT IF IT ALL GOES RIGHT?, Boi-1da fields his own dream team of artists from across the Canadian pop spectrum, headed by spotlight-stealing turns from Jessie Reyez on the punky, trash-talkin’ “I DARE YOU (TASTY),” Alessia Cara on the smooth-yet-restless R&B track “IN MY HANDS,” and Punjabi-rap king AP Dhillon on the hot-steppin’ FRVRFRIDAY collab “BORN WINNER.” But Boi-1da also taps into the World Cup’s spirit of unity by staging some unlikely match-ups, bringing Edmonton MC ARDN and EDM duo Zeds Dead together for the dramatic entrance theme “WE CAME TO BLEED,” and pairing pop singer Johnny Orlando with emo enigma EKKSTACY on the gritty, indie-edged “THE ALCHEMIST.” Beyond spotlighting Canada’s current crop of power players, Boi-1da also ensures that the nation’s trailblazing veterans get their flowers—by inviting Nelly Furtado to get down with the booty-shaking electro banger “ELECTRIC CIRCUS” (a tribute to MuchMusic’s namesake dance show) and updating The Tragically Hip’s iconic campfire lullaby “AHEAD BY A CENTURY” into a smartphone-waving stadium anthem with the help of alterna-singer-songwriters City and Colour and Ruby Waters.
