There's a new song making waves across the United States during the 2026 World Cup. It happens to hail from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the site of one of the tournament's greatest fairy tales.

They've also helped inspire a track that has, in some ways, come to define the country, its supporters and its view of the United States — warts and all.
