Robbie said of the song, “Music and football bring people together like nothing else so I'm beyond honoured to be the Official FIFA Music Ambassador. To perform 'Desire' with Laura at the final of the FIFA Club World Cup™ and share that moment with fans in the stadium and all the fans watching from home around the world, will be a truly special moment. And it's just the start, I'm so excited that my song will be a part of some of my favourite FIFA football tournaments in the coming years”.- Laura said, “It’s an honour for me to be invited to join Robbie Williams and be featured on the song ‘Desire’, written by Robbie. The song is amazing, really touching. It’s a dream to be with him for The FIFA Club World Cup. Since I was a little girl growing up in Italy I remember the thrill and passion for football in my home country. To be able to perform live with Robbie Williams in front of passionate football fans and to be heard by music fans around the world will be truly amazing.”
