Skales Rides Viral Wave with New Anthem Inspired by Lamine Yamal’s Dance Moves
Nigerian singer Skales is turning social media virality into sonic momentum with the release of his latest single, Dance Like Lamine Yamal—a high-energy track born from a spontaneous dance moment that swept across the internet.
It all started when a video of FC Barcelona’s teenage prodigy, Lamine Yamal, grooving to one of Skales’ earlier hits resurfaced and gained traction across European platforms. What was once a 2014 club anthem suddenly found itself revived, echoing through playlists and stadium tunnels across the continent.
Seizing the moment, Skales didn’t just sit back and watch. He flew out to celebrate alongside the FC Barcelona squad during their Copa del Rey afterparty, where he gave a live performance that electrified the room and bolstered his presence with European fans.
Now, with the world’s eyes on Yamal—whose breakout season could help lead Barcelona to a historic treble—Skales has dropped Dance Like Lamine Yamal, a bouncy homage to the footballer’s viral groove and rising stardom. It’s a clever crossover move that blends sports and sound at just the right time.
To tease the track, Skales posted a clip of himself dancing to it on his social media on May 5, 2025, giving fans a taste of what’s expected to be a crowd-shaking release.
As music and football culture continue to collide on the global stage, Skales is positioning himself right at the center—bringing rhythm to the roar of the beautiful game.
