Halifax Tides player collaborates with N.S. reggae artist to create women’s soccer league anthem

The new anthem for Canada’s professional women’s soccer league features a Halifax Tides FC player whose high-energy collaboration with a well-known reggae singer will be the soundtrack to the 2026 Northern Super League season.

Tides forward Tiffany Cameron worked with Halifax-based Jah’Mila on the new song Victory, which showcases Cameron’s hip-hop skills alongside Jah’Mila’s vocals in a celebration of the women’s game.

“I hope fans listen to it and get pumped up,” Cameron said. “I wanted the song to have a lot of energy and for people to feel the music and want to sing along, rap along as well.”

Cameron, whose artist name is Tiff, has balanced her music alongside her soccer career and pitched the idea of a song to the league last year. 

The tune covers a number of themes about the impact of the six-team league about to begin its second season.

“It’s about overcoming adversity. It’s about fighting for what you think is right, fighting for yourself, you know, as in women’s soccer, it’s a little bit more challenging,” Cameron explained.

Cameron’s lyrics refer to the Tides and the other teams in the league, while shouting out Diana Matheson and Christine Sinclair for their influence and leadership in the sport.

“Those two have advocated big time for women’s football. So I wanted to highlight them,” she said.

Working with Jah’Mila was inspiring, said Cameron, who added her presence was even more uplifting considering the singer — who is originally from Jamaica — had been going through chemotherapy treatment.

Jah’Mila, a Juno-nominated artist, said the song and its meaning is special in her career.

“It also is reflective of my own personal journey. It’s been a tough couple of months for me,” she said.

She has now finished her treatments but said there were times during the recording sessions that she did not feel well and the creative partnership helped her maintain focus.

“Tiffany is full of energy, very vivacious, but also she’s very organized and really steered the path forward,” Jah’Mila said.

She is now envisaging the song being played in teams’ locker rooms as a hype tune before games.

Cameron’s teammates are happy to see a Halifax player in the spotlight.

“I think that it’ll just bring a sense of excitement to our games,” said Tides defender Naya Cardoza. “It shows the sort of talent that can come from every single team.” 

“We’re so proud of her and I think that the lyrics in the song are awesome,” said midfielder Sarah Taylor. “Not a surprise coming from her, but her energy translates into the song.”

Victory will be available to be played at NSL stadiums across the country and will also be featured during TV broadcasts of the games.

Halifax fans will get a chance to hear it before the match when the Tides kick off their season against Ottawa on Saturday, April 25, at the Wanderers Grounds.
