Riot Games and Virgin Music Group released the music video for Stromae and Pomme’s single, “Ma Meilleure Ennemie,” from Arcane League of Legends: Season 2 (Soundtrack From The Animated Series). The stunning video, animated and produced by Fortiche Production, captures the song’s emotional depth and narrative impact through a mix of live-action rendering and signature expressive animation.
The music video builds on the iconic dance sequence between fan-favourite characters Jinx and Ekko, as seen in Arcane Season 2, Episode 7. In the episode’s parallel world, Powder is seen helping Ekko experience true empathy. Later in the season, fans are shown how Ekko carries that experience and is driven by a desire to help Jinx in return, further exploring their tender and profound connection.

“My first reaction when I saw the scene was, frankly, I found it quite poetic,” said Stromae in an upcoming video to fans. “I understood the vision that the directors and all the animators had of the series. They clearly knew what they wanted… I thought the music and everything worked well together, especially since it’s a pretty crucial moment.”
“Even to this day, it’s a song that continues to exist in people’s lives, and I think what happened is really magical…I actually understood the people’s reaction and enthusiasm because there was a kind of beauty, romanticism, and sweetness that is actually quite rare in the series,” said Pomme. “There was something special about that episode.”
