Fujii Kaze Teams Up With Tainy For World Baseball Classic Anthem “My Place”

At this moment, elite baseball talent from every corner of the globe is gathered for the World Baseball Classic, with matches hosted across the United States, Puerto Rico, and Japan. Functioning much like a baseball version of the World Cup, the event is bolstered by an official soundtrack helmed by the legendary reggaeton producer Tainy. This trio of tracks showcases a diverse lineup, including Puerto Rican stars Young Miko and Myke Towers, Mexican American pop sensation Becky G, K-pop idol YEONJUN (연준), and the beloved Japanese alt-pop artist 藤井 風 (Fujii Kaze).

Reflecting the tournament’s worldwide reach, the vocals are performed in English, Spanish, Japanese, and Korean. Among the collection, Kaze’s contribution, “My Place,” has already climbed into the top 20 rankings on the Genius Top Songs chart.

Crafted by Tainy, Albert Hype, and Jota Rosa, with lyrics penned by Kaze, “My Place” presents an upbeat dance-pop sound infused with reggaeton elements. While the opening chorus doesn't strictly demand a baseball-themed interpretation, it is easy to read the lyrics as a defiant anthem from an international athlete holding their own on the field.

I’ve seen every corner of the world but this is my place
Here on the land, I’m standing tall ‘cause this is my place
No matter where I go
I’m gonna make it my place, my place
