Instead of choosing a way of expression that is deeply cheering, the work aims for a message about the connection, belief and aspiration that football brings to billions of people around the world.
Notably, the song continues to be performed by AI/T (Ai Trinh) - the virtual singer character developed by musician Thai Nguyen from 2025. This is also the next project showing the direction of combining music and AI technology that the male musician has pursued in the past time.
Sharing about creative inspiration, Thai Nguyen said that the World Cup is always a special event because it has the ability to connect people regardless of language, culture or national differences.
The World Cup always brings something very special: Billions of people may be different in language, culture or national colors, but in 90 minutes on the football field, everyone lives in the same emotional rhythm. 'The whole world dreams' was written by me from that very emotion. I don't just want to write a song about football, but want to write about the connection between people," the musician shared.
Besides the inspiring content, the MV also attracts attention when applying AI to build many images such as bright stadiums, crowds cheering or cinematic scenes. According to Thai Nguyen, technology helps the crew expand the ability to express ideas, but does not replace the role of the artist.
AI does not replace the artist. The most important thing is still the emotions and story of the work. Technology only helps creators have more means to tell that story in a newer way," he emphasized.
According to the musician, the application of AI is not simply to create differences, but to realize ideas that are difficult to implement with ordinary production conditions. The core element of a musical work is still emotions and messages for the audience.
With "The whole world dreams", the crew wants to bring a song to accompany the FIFA World Cup 2026 season, spreading the spirit of solidarity and sharing.
