Out of This World (Yohani Version) | ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 | 7 June 2024 | with Sean Paul and Kes | Sinhala lyrics by Murshad Huvais, Lucky Lakmina and Dilanjan Seneviratne

On 7 June 2024, the Sri Lanka version of Out of This World, the official anthem of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, was released with Yohani alongside Sean Paul and Kes, and with Sinhala lyrics co-written by Dilanjan Seneviratne. He wrote them with Murshad Huvais and Lucky Lakmina.

The ICC released the original anthem by the Jamaican artist Sean Paul and the Trinidad and Tobago band Kes on 2 May 2024. Three South Asian versions followed: DIVINE for India, Bilal Saeed for Pakistan and Yohani for Sri Lanka.

The Sinhala verses gave Sri Lankan cricket fans the anthem in their own language during the tournament, hosted by the West Indies and the United States.

Highlights include:

Rolling Stone India covered the three regional versions on 13 June 2024.

The Sunday Times and the Sunday Observer carried the Sri Lanka version on 16 June 2024. The Sunday Times named Dilanjan as Founder and CEO of Outright Play.

On streaming platforms the track is listed as Out of This World (with Yohani) (Yohani Version).

The anthem added an ICC release to a lyric catalogue that already ran from Pettah Effect singles to Red Bull Records and Creator Records.
