Doktor and Agent Sasco’s ‘Why You Waiting?’ Makes Waves on EA Sports FC 24 Soundtrack

As EA sports continues its love-affair with reggae and dancehall, Jamaican-born UK-based Dancehall artist Doktor’s track ‘Why You Waiting?’ featuring Agent Sasco, has secured a spot on the EA Sports FC 24 (formerly FIFA) soundtrack. The song, released in March 2023, also includes Serum.

EA Sports confirmed the extensive 85-song track list for the game, offering over 4 hours of multi-genre hits from a diverse array of artists. Notable names on the list include The Rolling Stones, Jack Harlow, KAROL G, Charlotte Denevey, Major Lazer, and more, as reported by NME.

After three decades of collaboration with the football governing body, EA has parted ways, making FIFA 23 the final installment of the series. EA Sports FC 24, scheduled for release on September 29, 2023, is the successor to the series, boasting a revamped look and the groundbreaking inclusion of both female and male players who can be selected and play together in ‘Ultimate Team.’

The inclusion of reggae dancehall has been part of Sports Game’s Synchronization strategy for a few years. Last year, Koffee’s ‘Pull Up’ and Shenseea’s ‘Run Run’ were featured on the FIFA 23 soundtrack. Buju Banton, Koffee, Govana, and Rvssian also appeared on the FIFA 21 soundtrack, while Shenseea collaborated with rapper Belly for the Madden NFL 22 soundtrack.

Matisyahu’s ‘Searching’ made FIFA 13, ‘Hold the Line’ by Major Lazer (feat. Mr. Lexx and Santigold) made FIFA in 2010.

‘Why You Waiting?’ marks Doktor’s first release of the year, following previous hits like ‘On Me,’ ‘No Drama,’ and ‘Love.’ The song serves as an inspirational anthem, motivating listeners to pursue their dreams.

Agent Sasco showcases his lyrical prowess, rapping lines like, ‘Get off the platform, get on the train, Left out the airport, get on the plane, Left off the sideline, get in the game, Don’t make no excuse, go make your name. Right now, it’s your time, so make a play, You see the sun shining? Go make the hay, Now we just a proverb and no delay, Don’t bother with the lazy bone, this is a fillet…’

Doktor shared his excitement on Instagram on Thursday (September 21), celebrating the achievement: ‘It’s crazy, the game I’ve been demolishing people on for years, my single “Why You Waiting” is now part of the EA FC24 soundtrack. 🙏🏾’
