People are making some pretty unfavourable comparisons
Will Smith, Nicky Jam, and Era Istrefi’s official World Cup song Live It Up has been released ahead of the tournament in Russia.
Although the official song comes around once every four years, a bit like with Eurovision the expectations are pretty low on this stuff. Previous artists have included Pitbull, R. Kelly, and Ricky Martin – enough said.

You might have thought Big Willy would have been able to win over fans. But, sadly not, with one tweeter even comparing the song to something you would hear at Butlins.
Here’s the reaction in full:

Just heard the new World Cup song. Predictably it's absolute horse shit. #WorldCup2018
