Stromae & Pomme Unleash ‘Ma Meilleure Ennemie’ Music Video From ‘Arcane League of Legends’ Season 2 Soundtrack
Written by djfrosty on March 20, 2025
Just a few months after the Arcane League of Legends Season 2 soundtrack debuted and peaked at No. 2 on Billboard‘s Soundtracks chart, the musical world of Arcane is once again expanding thanks to a brand-new music video from Belgian superstar Stromae and acclaimed French musician Pomme.
Animated and produced by Fortiche Production, the new music video serves as the visual accompaniment to “Ma Meilleure Ennemie,” a winning duet that became both artists’ first Billboard Hot 100 entry late last year. The video combines live-action rendering and express animation, bolstering the work of Arcane‘s season 2 executive music producer Alex Seaver, who co-produced the new clip. Tom Gouill, who won the 2025 Annie Award for best character animation — tv/media, directed the music video.
Always bringing it back to the source material, the “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” music video builds on the notable dance sequence between fan-favorite characters Jinx and Ekko that occurs in the seventh episode of the second season. That experience significantly impacts Ekko later in the season, spurring him to help Jinx and further explore their connection.

“My first reaction when I saw the scene was, frankly, I found it quite poetic,” Stromae said in a 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.”
To combine fiction and real life, Fortiche Productions incorporated subtle references to both Stromae’s and Pomme’s visual identities. The music video also includes nods to album artwork from both artists: at 0:40, the team animated a shot re-creating Pomme’s À peu près album cover, and at 0:31 they referenced Stromae’s Multitude album cover. Interestingly, the Pomme nod also doubles as a reference to the music video for Imagine Dragons‘ JID-assisted “Enemy,” where a firefly emerges from Powder’s mouth. “Enemy” served as the lead single from the first Arcane soundtrack and reached the top five on the Hot 100.
In April, Riot Games and Virgin Music Group will team up for a deluxe version of the Arcane League of Legends Season 2 soundtrack, adding to a roster that already includes heavyweights such as Stray Kids, Twenty One Pilots and Sheryl Lee Ralph. The extended version of the album proves that, although Arcane ends with season 2, the series’ impact lives on across mediums.
“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.”
