What is a “FIFA Song”?

I only played FIFA games on the PS1 back in the day but when I listen to each FIFA soundtrack I always look for the most catchy tunes because I despise generic mainstream shit like that John Newman song.

omg what song was this in the background

I completely agree with this, but it has aged badly. FIFA soundtracks have sadly lost everything they stood for. Not a single "FIFA song" since 2020 and quality has really dopped a lot ever since FIFA 17.
Also used to get new music and discover new artists through FIFA…still a huge fan of You Me At Six, Catfish and the Bottlemen, Imagine Dragons, Bastille, Royal Concept adn some more, all of which I discovered via FIFA

5:23 did you say Dyklan?

FIFA 14 is Love Me Again wtf are you saying

Love me again – John Newman
That's the one

Luke hemmings motion bring that song back

bro if you think FIFA has the best video game soundtrack you do not know what your talking about

Fifa 21 has the best fifa song

I've been looking through a lot of my playlists recently and scouring for songs that I feel would belong on FIFA, even though they're not on it. I've picked up a few other points to add to this.

-The intro has to grab you from the start. Keep in mind this is mainly for the disco/indie side of FIFA, and not the rap side.

A catchy little drum beat, or the post-chorus hook, played at the start of the song, is done all of the time. It grabs you at the start, but not by the scruff of the neck as opening with the chorus does, it just leads in you in by your arm. For example, to show off a song that I think fits the genre well, Lagoon by Flavoured Nation and it's clicks are instantly iconic and you'd know what song you're listening to the moment you hear it.

-A consistent tempo is really required, the danceability of the song really matters, something you can jam and sing along to easily, without being thrown off by some wacky rhythm. For example, Not Holding Back by Ivory Rasmus has this really nicely.

-It has to give you a memory.

I don't know about you lot, but whenever I hear a FIFA song, even on the ones I haven't played, I can almost feel the vibe of sitting in the summer air, solving some SBC's, getting ready for a kickabout with the bois. I can hear that, coming from the song. I associate FIFA with it. As my example, Gold by James Marriott does this extremely well, I can pretty much smell summer just by listening to it (which sounds kind of weird when I say it out loud.)

-And finally, it has to bring something new to the table.

It can be fairly formulaic, but it needs something unique or some secret sauce that really hits it well. I'd reckon Welcome To My Planet by Pomplamoose does this really well, the guitar lick being completely unique to the song.

Bro u gotta make another one of these

NBA 2k14 and Madden 11’s Soundtrack are some of my favorite soundtracks from sports games

Am I the only one who loves You are the one and Kaleidoscope from Fifa 07.. My first fifa game

Almost always hear fifa songs outside the game(radio, tv commercials, movies) a few months after the game releases too.

FIFA 12 all time fav

FIFA is P2W, so many is there stupid situation what make AI, but you cant tell FIFA soundrack suck.

A FIFA song is a song that features in one of the series franchise installments.

Fifa 14 is the best videogame soundtrack of all time

Fifa soundtracks are starting to get worse as the years get on . Which is really a sad thing as it’s the only thing I really look forward to in the game . The gameplay has been on a downwards slope ever since the frostbite engine and they’ve completely killed my favourite game mode of all time which is career mode with its lack of updates and attention. Ultimate team is just a money grab and honestly Fifa just will never hit the same as it used to

Anyone watching this in 2021, listen to KAWALA. ALL of their music is FIFA music.
"Ticket to Ride" is the best song this year.
