Video for World Cup song featuring Twice's Jihyo drops

A music video for a World Cup-themed song featuring Jihyo of the girl group Twice was unveiled on Monday.

Titled “Follow Me,” the track embodies an aspiration to connect music fans and football fans worldwide, according to the singer's agency, JYP Entertainment, on Monday. The track was released on June 12.

Besides Jihyo’s vocals, Moroccan American rapper French Montana, Brazilian singer-songwriter Ludmilla and emerging pop artist Adriana C also joined the recording. The song was produced by Grammy winner RedOne, a Moroccan Swedish record composer.

Famous current and retired footballers, including Brazilian legend Ronaldo, Real Madrid's Brahim Díaz of Morocco and club teammate Federico Valverde of Uruguay, starred in the music video.

“Music and sports are the two most powerful global languages we have,” RedOne told Billboard. “The intersection of music and sports gives us the biggest global stages and widest audiences possible. And that’s where culture shifts happen.”

Jihyo debuted as a Twice member in October 2015 under JYP Entertainment. The group is known for "Cheer Up" (2016), "TT" (2016), "What is Love?" (2018), "Yes or Yes" (2018) and "Feel Special" (2019).
