Since Liverpool‘s Dominik Szoboszlai made the switch from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023, he has shown an unrelenting desire to do his best for the Reds, with his energy and willingness to sacrifice himself for the betterment of the team proving he can step up in difficult moments.
The 2025-26 season was a disastrous one for the Merseysiders, who were expected to challenge for the Premier League title, but they instead finished fifth with just 60 points, qualifying for the Champions League only because England were awarded an extra spot in the competition.
A number of players struggled throughout the campaign, but Szoboszlai consistently delivered man-of-the match-worthy performances, and he has a growing catalogue of free-kick goals that have earned the number eight a reputation as a true marksman from dead-ball situations.
The 25-year-old's presence at both ends of the pitch – as both a midfielder and as a right-back – has drawn comparisons to Steven Gerrard, who was renowned for doing whatever it took to win.
To show their appreciation for the Hungary captain – who has won Liverpool's player of the month award five times this season – the Anfield faithful have conjured a Dominik Szoboszlai chant.
However, it remains to be seen whether it continues to be sung next season given the versatile star was seen reacting in a frustrated manner towards away supporters at the Etihad Stadium, following a 4-0 thrashing on April 4.
In any case, read on as Football Ground Guide covers all you need to know about the Dominik Szoboszlai chant – one of the catchiest Liverpool football chants – ahead of the Reds' Premier League showdown with Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Dominik Szoboszlai chant, lyrics and tune
The Dominik Szobsoszclai chant is sung to the tune of ‘This Is the Life’ by Amy Macdonald. The lyrics to the chant are as follows:
When we’re singing his song,
And we’ll sing it all night,
When he’s passing from the left,
And he’s shooting from the right,
Where’s he gonna go,
Where’s he gonna go,
Dominik Szoboszlai!
Dominik Szoboszlai chant background
The song was created by Andy Hodgson, who has made a bit of a reputation for himself in recent years as being a Liverpool ‘chantwriter' at Taggy's, a pub near Anfield.
Hodgson has effectively taken over the mantle from Liverpool musician Jamie Webster, who used to do this sort of thing before he went mainstream.
From a lyrical point of view, this football chant doesn't reference anything specific to Szoboszlai, but the tune used is an original one. It perhaps feels like Hodgson decided that the player's name fitted with the chorus of the song and went from there.
Liverpool fans singing the Dominik Szoboszlai chant
FGG says: A good tune, but there's a reason it hasn't fully taken off
In a world where football fans often just rehash tunes that other clubs sing, I'm never going to criticise someone for coming up with something original.
However, there is a reason why this hasn't exploded at Anfield like other Liverpool chants created by someone on an acoustic guitar, and it's probably because the lyrics could be applicable to any footballer in the world.
