Sean Paul, Kes & Yohani - Out Of This World (Yohani Remix) [ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 Anthem], Watch it here
With Sinhala verses and global energy, Yohani becomes the first Sri Lankan artist to appear on an official World Cup anthem, joining a pan regional lineup that celebrates cricket through culture.
Yohani steps onto one of the world’s biggest sporting stages today as she joins Sean Paul and Kes for the official ICC Men’s T20 World Cup anthem remix. The collaboration marks a groundbreaking moment for Sri Lanka, placing a Sinhala voice alongside global superstars in a project that unites nations through music and cricket.
The remix carries vibrant Caribbean rhythms, pop driven hooks, and Yohani’s unmistakable tone woven into the arrangement. Her Sinhala verses introduce a new cultural layer to the anthem, adding a fresh texture that reflects the sport’s worldwide reach. The synergy between Sean Paul’s dancehall energy, Kes’s soca roots, and Yohani’s island perspective creates a track that feels both celebratory and globally connected.
Inside the studio, the collaboration unfolds with creative openness. Producers encourage Yohani to shape her section with the same clarity and color that defined her breakthrough moments. She responds with vocal lines that blend rhythmic precision and melodic lift, offering an authentic representation of Sri Lankan sound on a global platform.
The anthem’s release is met with excitement across cricketing nations. Fans respond to the multilingual approach, while Sri Lankans at home and abroad celebrate the milestone of seeing one of their own featured in an official World Cup project for the first time.
For Yohani, the collaboration represents another significant step in her international journey. It reinforces her ability to bridge cultures through music and positions her among artists whose work resonates far beyond their home countries.
A global anthem. A historic first. A voice carried across the world’s biggest grounds.
A moment where music, culture, and sport come together under one beat.
