The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the release of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Official Anthem, Out of this World, by Grammy award winning artist Sean Paul and Soca superstar Kes.

With just 30-days-to-go until the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 begins, the release of the anthem sets the tone for what will be the biggest cricket carnival spectacle ever, with 20 international teams playing 55 matches across the West Indies and USA from 1-29 June.

The anthem, produced by Michael “Tano” Montano, was launched along with the music video, which features cameos from eight-time Olympic gold-medallist Usain Bolt, cricket stars Chris Gayle, Ali Khan, Shivnarine Chanderpaul and other Caribbean personalities. The music video is a visual celebration of cricket that captures the atmosphere and energy fans from around the world can expect when they attend ICC Men’s T20 World Cup matches.

The track and music video is available to view here and is also available on digital streaming music platforms Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, SoundCloud, JioSaavn, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and others.

Fans can also get into the spirit of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup by creating their own dance interpretations of the “knock it out of this world” dance step, which is 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”.

ICC General Manager - Marketing and Communications, Claire Furlong said: “With just 30 days to go until the ICC Men's T20 World Cup begins, the release of the official anthem sets the tone for a celebration in which global fans will come together to experience an incredible month of cricket. We are delighted to have two globally recognised artists in Sean Paul and Kes produce our official anthem, which will be at the heart of the event, heard across our stadiums, global broadcast and ICC digital platforms.”
