If there is one thing that Liverpool fans appreciate above all else, it is a player that is willing to lay it all on the line for the cause, and it is from that appreciation that the Dominik Szoboszlai chant was born.
The Hungary captain made the switch from RB Leipzig in the summer of 2023 and has never stopped running since, garnering widespread praise for his immense engine and ability to step up in difficult moments, a trait reminiscent of club icon Steven Gerrard.
After putting pen to paper on a new long-term contract in the summer, Szoboszlai has been granted a role in the leadership setup by manager Andoni Iraola, who sees him as vice-captain material.
However, the number eight has drawn some criticism in the early stages of 2026-27 for his lack of defensive instinct, and it remains to be seen how his role evolves in the coming months as Iraola settles in at Anfield.
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.
