England beat Mexico at the Estadio Azteca on Sunday, and the song that soundtracked the celebration was ANOTR Talk To You. Footage from the England dressing room spread across social media within hours, handing the disco house single its most unexpected stage yet and turning a World Cup night into another viral moment for the Dutch duo behind it.
For a record that has spent all year moving from club systems to radio playlists, a national team using it to mark a knockout win is exactly the kind of crossover that keeps a track alive long after its release week. What started as a dancefloor favourite is now tied to one of the biggest results of England’s summer.
Inside England’s Talk To You celebration
Clips shared from inside the squad’s celebration showed the players bouncing to the ANOTR and 54 Ultra single after a 3 to 2 win that booked a World Cup quarterfinal place. The video travelled fast, picking up thousands of reactions from football fans and dance music listeners alike, many of whom were discovering that the anthem filling their feeds came from a Dutch house project rather than a stadium playlist regular.
The reaction underlined how far the song has spread. Supporters who had never heard of the duo were suddenly asking for the track ID, while fans who knew it from clubs and festivals watched a personal favourite become a mainstream talking point. Even some Mexico supporters, gutted by the result, admitted in the comments that they could not be mad at the soundtrack.
How England beat Mexico at the Azteca
The match itself was an instant World Cup classic. On July 5, 2026, in front of a packed Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, Jude Bellingham scored twice in just over 90 seconds to put England in dreamland. Julián Quiñones pulled one back for Mexico from a corner before halftime, and the game swung again after the break when Jarell Quansah was sent off for a high boot.
Down to ten men, England kept their nerve. Anthony Gordon was fouled and Harry Kane made no mistake from the penalty spot. Mexico earned a late spot kick of their own after a VAR review, which Raúl Jiménez converted, but the Three Lions held on through a tense final half hour to win 3 to 2. The result sent England to a quarterfinal against Norway in Miami, and it sent the celebration, and its soundtrack, straight to the internet.
The rise of ANOTR Talk To You
ANOTR are Jesse van der Heijden and Oguzhan Guney, the Dutch duo who run the No Art label and have become one of the most talked about acts in house music. “Talk To You,” featuring New Jersey singer and songwriter 54 Ultra, arrived on March 6, 2026, written during a studio retreat in Upstate New York and built on funk guitar riffs, syncopated synth stabs and warm, reverb soaked vocals.
The single became the duo’s biggest to date. It topped the World Airplay Radio Monitor Global Dance Radio chart in April, spending two weeks at number one across stations in more than 30 countries. In the United States it debuted and peaked at number five on Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs with 1.5 million streams, and in the United Kingdom it gave ANOTR their first ever top 40 hit. At home in the Netherlands it reached the top 10 of both the Dutch Top 40 and the Single Top 100.
A house record built for crossover moments
The England celebration fits a pattern that has followed “Talk To You” since the spring. By mid April the record had already been used in more than 50,000 TikTok videos, and its reach has kept widening from clubs into the mainstream. That kind of organic momentum is what turns a dance single into a cultural moment, and a World Cup dressing room is about as visible as it gets.
The track also echoes the sound that first made ANOTR a household name in dance music. Critics have drawn a line back to their 2022 breakthrough “Relax My Eyes,” noting the same melancholy vocal feel in a slower, more relaxed setting. “Talk To You” followed the duo’s 2025 album On a Trip, and it has kept them in constant demand on the touring circuit. Their summer schedule includes two nights at Pacha New York on July 10 and 11, with the Saturday show already sold out.
For a duo whose groove first crossed over with “Relax My Eyes,” this is another sign that ANOTR have found a formula that travels far beyond the dancefloor. A World Cup night in Mexico City just handed “Talk To You” the biggest platform of its run, and the song looks in no rush to fade.
