It’s about the journey we’ve all been on over the last few years and celebrating what’s next,” Jones said in a statement. When I started in music in 2017, I went all in on a dream that brought me to where I am now, and that’s what I want fans to feel when they hear the song. I hope it makes you feel like you’re walking out onto the pitch at the World Cup making moves toward your own dreams, whatever that means to you.”
The song, which will also appear on the World Cup soundtrack, comes four months following Lil Baby’s Amazon Prime documentary Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby.
