Fans are encouraged to join in the tournament spirit by creating their own dance interpretations of the “knock it out of this world” dance hookstep featured in the video.
Grammy Award winner Sean Paul said: “I have always believed that music, like cricket, has the power to bring people together in unity and celebration. This song is all about positive energy and Caribbean pride and I can’t wait for the carnival of cricket to get started and hear everyone singing along to the anthem, bringing the party to stadiums across the West Indies and USA.”
Soca Superstar Kes said: “Cricket has always been a major part of Caribbean culture, so I’m honoured to write and record the official anthem for the T20 World Cup. Respect goes out to the entire crew whose creative input inspired this anthem. The track embodies the vibrant culture and energy of cricket and is a real anthem for people to sing out and feel the spirit of unity”.
