On June 25, 2026, FIFA released the album's "Bonus Edition," featuring two new songs: Madonna's and Feid's "Read My Lips", ahead of Madonna's performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup final halftime show, and "DNA (More Than a Game)," recorded by Andrea Bocelli, David Guetta, Ejae and Megan Thee Stallion for the tournament.[11][12]
