Glass Animals had been at all times on the cusp of turning into a very massive band, relying on how poppy their subsequent single was – suppose Kevin Strootman, ready for a Premier League transfer.

99. Radiohead – Myxamatosis (FIFA 2004)
Proper, let’s be sincere: Radiohead in a FIFA sport is bizarre, significantly Hail To The Thief-era Radiohead. It doesn’t really feel just like the type of factor they might do, and so they don’t really feel just like the type of band EA Sports activities would go for.
Nonetheless, there they’re – and in equity, Myxamatosis was somewhat extra accessible than quite a lot of their more and more outré output. And it’s a cracking music, too, so why query it?

95. Structure in Helsinki – Escapee (FIFA 12)
So bubblegum candy it makes your tooth harm, Structure In Helsinki shifted away from their earlier Modest Mouse-esque sound to supply the synth-heavy Second Bends in 2011.
The Aussie outfit took their pursuit of that very on-fleek vibe to this point that some critics questioned if it was really meant as a parody – however no matter their intentions, it commanded consideration and received you tapping your foot alongside whether or not you really appreciated it or not.

Similar to the quilt of Eilish’s Hit Me Laborious And Mushy file, CHIHIRO is a music that sounds submerged beneath the water. It surfs with a sublime melody earlier than taking a visit into the deep, as lyrics speak of an addicition-like relationship coming to an finish and the chilly turkey of getting to outlive alone.
Truthfully, it is not likely the primary music of 2024 that we would affiliate with Profession Mode. Bit darkish. We thought Houdini by Dua Lipa may get an airing as an alternative.
Nonetheless, we’re not complaining. Each now, a prog-pop belter wants its place on this soundtrack. We’re right here for it.

90. Infantile Gambino – Feels Like Summer time (FIFA 19)
Author, actor, comic, rapper, singer, director, producer… Donald Glover might be annoying good on FUT, too.

Jungle are probably the greatest British bands of the previous decade. Although they proceed to develop in stature – even profitable BRIT awards – they’re nonetheless cool and we nonetheless look ahead to any FIFA soundtrack that they are part of.

There are those who blanch about rap music being prevalent within the FIFA video games. And truly quite a lot of that comes from hip-hop followers who themselves would somewhat hearken to vibrant indie after they’re reducing about Final Staff, as a break from the norm of what they hearken to.
It is arduous to disclaim ArrDee’s Oliver Twist as something aside from a bop, thoughts. That twisted string pattern is scrumptious, because the Brighton native chats about “simply wanting some extra”, chanelling the spirit of Boehly-era Chelsea. Find it irresistible.

This monitor was featured within the film Bridget Jones’s Child however we’d wager that the FIFA stamp of approval was a a lot larger deal for Tiggs. Run is a enjoyable, fast-paced pop music that was widespread that it was later reworked with an added verse from Woman Leshur (of “brush your tooth” fame).
Again on FIFA 16, it was one of many quirkier tracks on the playlist. A bit like having Carl Jenkinson in your FUT squad for banter.

Foals mix the sophistication of county-mates Radiohead with the thick distortion of the indie scene they had been born from – but they’re snug headlining festivals and showing on daytime radio.
Mountain At My Gates is arguably probably the most excellent piece of music they’ve ever produced. If it had been a soccer workforce it might be Leeds United beneath Bielsa: highly effective, stunning and instantly taking you abruptly by upping the noise within the last third.

Little question about it, Kygo has soundtracked the anthem of that hole 12 months in Thailand that you just by no means went on. Tropical home is a maligned ‘style’ however given his Norwegianness, poppy melodies and bouncy beats, EA simply needed to give him a tune in the end.
ID is a good compromise – it doesn’t characteristic an annoying vocalist, as an alternative eschewing chart ambitions for being a delicate and easy piece of chilled out bliss. Kygo later added vocals to this one, courtesy of X Issue’s Ella Henderson. We want this model, although.

The downtempo electronica duo are finest recognized for Moon Safari tracks Attractive Boy and Kelly Watch The Stars however had been chosen in 2005, with their monitor, Browsing on a Rocket.
