Hugo Ekitke chant: Lyrics, tune and story behind Liverpool’s song for their new striker

In the summer of 2025, Liverpool spent more than £400m on a series of big signings, but none have settled in nearly as well as Hugo Ekititke.

The striker was brought in from Frankfurt for a deal worth up to £79m, but the hefty price tag hasn't weighed heavily on his shoulders and he is fast becoming the Kop's new favourite player.

When that happens at Liverpool, a song usually follows. Although he is still in his early days as a Liverpool player, A Hugo Ekitike chant has emerged in recent weeks.

For all the key information on this new Liverpool chant, we've got you covered below.

Hugo Ekitike chant, lyrics and tune

The current Hugo Ekitike chant is sung to the tune of ‘Do the Conga' by Black Lace. For now, the lyrics are simply as follows:

Du du du, Hugo Ekitike,

Du du du, Hugo Ekitike,

Du du du, Hugo Ekitike,

Hugo Ekitike chant background

The Hugo Ekitike chant was heard as early as the player's first appearance at Anfield at the beginning of the 2025/26 Premier League season. The fact that he had a chant ready and waiting for him is a testament to how well he played in the Community Shield a week prior.

The Frenchman also scored in the match against Bournemouth, which only justified the chant further. After the game, Ekitike acknowledged the chant, but said that he would like it to be sung a little louder. He told reporters:

“I heard the song when I was in the corner. It was amazing. I’m very grateful, and I want to hear it louder next time! It was fun.”

FGG says: Will it stand the test of time

Considering Liverpool fans are known for coming up with quite imaginative football chants, it's unlikely that this will become the ‘final' Hugo Ekitike song, but it works as a placeholder while someone with an acoustic guitar near Anfield comes up with something better.
