"Boom" is a song by American recording artist Anastacia, which served as the official song of the 2002 FIFA World Cup held in South Korea and Japan. Co-written with and produced by Glen Ballard, it was released as a single on March 20, 2002, by Daylight Records and Epic Records. The song was featured on The Official Album of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, as well as on the collector's edition of Anastacia's second studio album Freak of Nature (2001). As there was no commercial release of the single in the United Kingdom, the song serves as the B-side to the single Why'd You Lie to Me.

In 2014, MTV Italy declared it the country's favorite FIFA World Cup song.{{Cite web |url=http://mondiali2014.mtv.it/challenges/winner |title=Mondiali2014 Challenge winner |access-date=July 14, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714222114/http://mondiali2014.mtv.it/challenges/winner |archive-date=July 14, 2014 |url-status=dead}}

Music video

Directed by Marcos Siega, the music video for "Boom" was shot in London in 2002. It was later included on her first DVD, The Video Collection. In the beginning of the video, a car is driving along and the radio plays "One Day in Your Life" in the background. Suddenly the car stops and a light flash is seen in the sky. Then the song starts and Anastacia is performing it on a small stage in front of a crowd. During the video, several people get beamed up to this party, some of them being soccer players.
