Imagine a world where music and gaming collide. That’s exactly what happened with the release of “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” by Stromae and Pomme, a song that’s taking the world by storm. The music video, launched by Riot Games and Virgin Music Group, is an animation masterpiece produced by Fortiche Production.
As a numbers game, “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” is a clear winner. With over 10 million daily streams, it’s no surprise it broke into the top 3 on Spotify’s global charts. The song even landed a spot on the Billboard Hot 100, a first for the artists. In France and Belgium, it took the top spot on the radio charts.
The song’s success can be attributed to its connection to the popular animated series Arcane, based on League of Legends. The music video extends a pivotal moment from the second season, where Jinx and Ekko share a dance in an alternate reality.
According to Stromae, the moment was “very poetic” and the music fit perfectly. Pomme added that the public’s reaction was understandable, given the rare touch of beauty and romance in the series.
To take it to the next level, an extended version of the Arcane album is set to drop in April. The second season of Arcane debuted at number one on Netflix and reached the top 10 in 91 countries. Although there’s no word on a third season, fans can hold onto the music for now.
For fans of the series and music lovers alike, the extended album release is something to look forward to. As the world of gaming and music continues to collide, we can expect more exciting collaborations like “Ma Meilleure Ennemie”.
