Saka: Not Finished (Football Song)

Player Songs and Tributes Football Motivation Songs Football Hype Songs England Bukayo Saka Arsenal Afrobeats

A comeback song for Bukayo Saka, sung in his own voice. Before the injuries he was one of the most reliable forwards in England: double figures five seasons in a row and 20 goals in 2023-24. Then came hamstring surgery, 40 games missed for club and country over two seasons, and a World Cup played short of fitness. His 11 goals in 2025-26 were his lowest in five years, and the doubters started calling him finished. It is bright, melodic afro-pop: log drums and a plucked guitar riff, minor-key verses about the doubts lifting into a major-key chorus that answers them. Two verses and a rising run-up land on one answer, "not finished, not by far". Then the beat switches into a double-time verse about the armband, the board going up with his number and the teenager running on in his place, the kid he once was, and the song builds straight back to the chorus.

Saka: Not Finished Lyrics

They say that I'm finished Say the spark's diminished Saka, they're counting all my minutes But nobody out here knows my limits 20 goals in a season, I already been here Double figures 5 years straight, go and read the career 40 games on the sideline, watching from the rear Now the hamstring's healed and the lane is clear Every highlight on the reel, the old me set the pace that high Now they run the old clips back and ask me if the old me said goodbye Cut inside Left foot, let it fly Shirt to the fan And I ain't at the end Surgery in December, 3 months gone and nobody could see Now I'm back out on the right wing, and the right wing's back to me Saka (Sa-ka) Not finished, not by far Still got the seven, still got the scar Cut in on my left, and it's in off the bar Goals in the net, but it's the miss they remember One bad night and they call me a pretender Saka (Sa-ka) Not finished, not by far Still got the seven, still got the scar Cut in on my left, and it's in off the bar Stitched up the hamstring, came back running 40 games gone, and you still don't see it coming 11 in a season, lowest in 5, and they swear I was stalling Wore the armband in a title year, you remember the calling Board goes up with my number, and a kid runs on for his time I was that kid once, so I know the feeling, now I want mine Not finished, not finished, not finished, not finished Not finished, not finished, not finished Surgery in December, 3 months gone and nobody could see Now I'm back out on the right wing, and the right wing's back to me Saka (Sa-ka) Not finished, not by far Still got the seven, still got the scar Cut in on my left, and it's in off the bar Stitched up the hamstring, came back running 40 games gone, and you still don't see it coming
