Shortly after the success of the Arcane League of Legends Season 2 soundtrack, which peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s Soundtracks chart, the world of Arcane is set to captivate fans once again. This revival comes in the form of a new music video for “Ma Meilleure Ennemie,” performed by Belgian artist Stromae and French musician Pomme.

Musical Collaboration and Production

The music video, crafted by Fortiche Productions, is a vibrant blend of live-action and animation, showcasing the creative inputs of Alex Seaver, who served as the executive music producer for Arcane’s Season 2. Directed by Tom Gouill, recent recipient of the 2025 Annie Award for Best Character Animation in TV/Media, the video marks a significant milestone for both artists as it represents their first entry into the Billboard Hot 100.

Connection to Arcane

The music video builds upon a memorable dance sequence featured between popular characters Jinx and Ekko during the seventh episode of Season 2. This scene plays a pivotal role in the narrative, influencing Ekko’s decisions and deepening his bond with Jinx as the season progresses.

Reflecting on the scene’s emotional depth, Stromae remarked, “My first reaction when I saw the scene was, frankly, I found it quite poetic. I understood the vision that the directors and all the animators had of the series. They clearly knew what they wanted.” He noted the synergy between the music and the animation, emphasizing its importance in the story.

Visual Elements and References

Fortiche Productions ingeniously incorporates elements from Stromae’s and Pomme’s individual artistic styles within the music video. Creativity shines through with subtle references to their album artwork: at specific timestamps, the video mirrors Pomme’s À peu près album cover and hints at Stromae’s Multitude album cover. Additionally, these references cleverly tie back to the earlier Arcane soundtrack, showcasing the interconnectedness of the series’ musical legacy.

Upcoming Soundtrack Release

In collaboration with Virgin Music Group, Riot Games will release a deluxe edition of the Arcane League of Legends Season 2 soundtrack this April. This collection will feature contributions from standout artists such as Stray Kids, Twenty One Pilots, and Sheryl Lee Ralph, further cementing the series’ influence across various media.

Pomme expressed her sentiments regarding their collaboration: “Even to this day, it’s a song that continues to exist in people’s lives. There was a kind of beauty, romanticism, and sweetness that is actually quite rare in the series.” She emphasized the uniqueness of the moment captured in their work.
