With its internationalist reggae feel and new-age empowerment lyrics, "Wavin' Flag" was quickly embraced as an anthem for all kinds of things, including Haitian earthquake relief and Coca-Cola's 2010 FIFA World Cup advertising campaign.
While I quite enjoyed it at first, and do still find it catchy – in a "Walking on Sunshine" kind of way, I have grown weary of it, due to over-exposure.
