One of the things that has elevated Arcane Season 2 to new heights is the music, especially with impactful songs like “Heavy Is the Crown” and “What Have They Done to Us.” Even though the second season is over, Riot Games and Virgin Music Group continue their love for the Arcane soundtrack by releasing the extended edition of the Arcane Season 2 album. The new album includes nine additional tracks including Coldplay’s contribution to “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” by Stromae and Pomme.
The new version of “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” was released on Friday, April 4. It features Coldplay singing in French and new vocals from Palestinian-Chilean R&B musician Elyanna.
Riot Games and Fortiche Production released the music video for “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” on March 20th. It featured original animation conveying the complex relationship between Jinx and Ekko in the Arcane series. The MV has reached 14 million views on YouTube in less than three weeks, and the song is the most popular track in the second season album on Spotify with over 350 million plays. In total, the Arcane Season 2 Soundtrack has reached 1.5 billion global streams.
Other new tracks include Mako and Grey’s “What Have They Done to Us” featuring Sasha Alex Sloan, a demo version of King Princess’s “Fantastic,” a remix of Stray Kids, Young Miko and Tom Morello’s “Come Play” by Kordhell, a remix of Ashnikko’s “Paint The Town Blue” by Bloodpop, JVKE’s ballad “Worlds Collide,” and live versions from Vevo.
“Together with Pomme & Riot Games, we wanted to give the fans a little extra gift by inviting an artist we admire,” said Stromae. “Coldplay has been a big inspiration for me for a long time, so it immediately felt like the right choice. When I asked them to join the project, they said yes without hesitation. I’m beyond happy about this collaboration, and the result is something really special!”
“We love Stromae and Pomme and we love the beautiful song that they wrote for Ekko and Powder,” said Coldplay. “It’s an honour to contribute to this new version and to the Arcane and League of Legends universe.”
