Goals - a new single

Anyone listened to the Fifa world cup official single Goals? The opening scale sounds familiar to me.
Is it phrygian? I guess the main phrase is in phrygian as well.
I can tell you you're gonna be hearing this banger all summer. It will be performed at the opening ceremony.

The opening chord is G major, but the naked descending scale is using Bb, never B natural, so for my ear projects as Ab lydian until it resolves on G at the conclusion.

Any reason why Ab Lydian? Ab Lydian and G phrygian share the same notes.
If it resolves to G, it must be G phrygian. No?
