If you set out to build a World Cup anthem in a lab, you would land close to this. “Energy” is Ava Max’s cut on the Official FIFA World Cup 2026 album, her first time teaming with rapper BIA, and it goes exactly where the title points: straight up, no slow build. It just hits.
The whole thing stays in constant motion, sparkling keyboard stabs and a percussion line that never sits down, Ava belting up top. The chorus is pure stadium math, “ain’t nobody touching my, my, my energy,” a full-chest hook built to bounce off the upper deck and come back twice as loud. Then BIA takes the middle and swaps the pop sheen for swagger: V-I-P bars, Spanish ad-libs, champagne and Saint Tropez. It keeps the track from going one-note.
Be straight about what this is: track 12 of 18 on a loaded album, produced by Pink Slip, not the lead single and not reinventing anyone, just a function-first adrenaline shot that lands. It is the same belt-it-to-the-rafters lane as her 2026 run of “KiLL iT QUEEN” and “Out Of Your Mind,” with BIA bringing the muscle.
Play it loud in the car with the windows down, or save it for the watch party when your team needs a goal. “Energy” is out now via SALXCO UAM and Def Jam. Stream it below and turn it up.
