Bellingham enthusiastically joined in, while Anthony Gordon was also seen singing along with supporters.
The celebrations reflected the excitement surrounding England's impressive start to the competition.
Tuchel's half-time message changed everything
After the match, Kane revealed that manager Thomas Tuchel delivered a powerful team talk at half-time.
"I thought it was a game of two halves. In the first half, we were OK."
"Credit to the manager, he gave us a speech at half-time and said if we lose, we lose in our way."
Kane explained that Tuchel demanded greater intensity and a more aggressive approach.
"The boss said at half-time to up the tempo, go man for man and completely take the game to them, and that is exactly what happened."
"You saw us at our best level, both with and without the ball."
Focus shifts to Ghana
The victory gives England an ideal start to their World Cup campaign and plenty of confidence heading into their second group-stage match.
Tuchel's side will next face Ghana as they attempt to take another major step toward qualification for the knockout rounds.
