People are making some pretty unfavourable comparisons

Will Smith, Nicky Jam, and Era Istrefi's official World Cup song Live It Up has been released ahead of the tournament in Russia.

Kelly, and Ricky Martin - enough said. You can listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFMZUxX6K6o You might have thought Big Willy would have been able to win over fans. But, sadly not, with one tweeter even comparing the song to something you would hear at Butlins.
