The world of Arcane is expanding with a second season this fall, and Stray Kids, Twenty One Pilots and more artists are coming along for the ride.
As Riot Games and Virgin Music Group exclusively announced with Billboard on Thursday (Sept. 12), the animated series inspired by the League of Legends game will feature a soundtrack packed with A-list artists. In addition to the K-pop boy band and American pop-rock duo — who recorded singles called “Come Play” and “The Line,” respectively — Young Miko, King Princess, Stromae, Marcus King, Ashnikko, d4vd, Sheryl Lee Ralph and more all contributed to the album.
“We’re very passionate about Arcane and League of Legends,” Stray Kids said in a band statement. “Our single ‘Come Play’ has a dynamic taste to it, bringing all sorts of voices and languages together. We enjoy playing League, and we’re excited for fans to hear this song and see the second season of Arcane!”
TØP’s Tyler Joseph added that he was inspired to join the project after watching the first season of Arcane, praising how “the idea of family and who can make up your family” was a central theme of the show.

Expected to arrive in November, the second season of Arcane comes three years after the show’s initial premiere on Netflix in 2021. Centered on Legends characters Vi and Jinx — voiced by Hailee Steinfeld and Ella Purnell — Arcane took home four of the five Emmy nominations it received in 2022, including outstanding animated program.
Last season also featured an army of major artists on its soundtrack, including Imagine Dragons, Pusha T, Sting, Bea Miller, Denzel Curry and more. According to a release, the album has racked up more than 5.6 billion global streams to date.
“Arcane’s groundbreaking approach to music inspired an incredibly diverse group of artists from many genres, languages, and cultures who wanted to be part of this new season,” said Riot’s global head of music Maria Egan. “Each song was a unique collaboration between the artists, our showrunners and Riot’s composers. Music is the heartbeat of the League community and we can’t wait for our fans to experience this epic album to deepen their connection to these powerful stories.”

Teddy Swims can still remember being 12 years old when he got his first pair of Timberland boots. While the outerwear brand’s Yellow Boot has continued to top style charts for fashion-forward utility wear, for the 31-year-old singer, the shoes were simply a sturdy pair of work boots that helped him score some extra cash as a kid.

“My stepdad at the time was like, ‘Well, if you’re going to get some money, I’ll give you $10 an hour, you’re going to work 10 hours every day, and then you can go spend your own money,’” Swims recalls in an interview with Billboard. “He bought me a pair of boots, and I was out there rolling sod on a football field.”

In a full-circle moment, “The Door” singer now joins Timberland’s Iconic campaign, which launched Thursday (Sept. 12) and continues celebrating the classic Yellow Boot while spotlighting a mix of original and authentic creatives, including Naomi Campbell, Slawn and Kai-Isaiah Jamal.

Combine classics in a pair of bestselling Levi’s denim shorts that come with a soft cotton mix material that has a hint of shoppers. Some Amazon shoppers love the style so much that they’ve been “wearing this style for years” — and as an added bonus, the shorts are 60% off.
2024 has been an ultra-successful year for the R&B singer, who scored his first No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with his soulful single “Lose Control,” which has managed to remain on the chart for 56 weeks. The artist keeps winning, being labeled by Timberland as “Iconic,” which he says is “all I ever wanted to be.”
How does one know they’re an icon? Besides being the face of a major campaign, Swims believes you have to reach Halloween costume status.
“I have a dear friend of mine that I went to middle school with and he said the definition of Iconic is when somebody can dress as you for Halloween and you could be noticeable,” he says. “For my entire life then on, I was like, ‘How can I be somebody that somebody could dress as for Halloween?’ They’ll know, ‘Oh, sh–, that’s Teddy Swims!’”
And according to the artist, it finally happened to him a few years ago when his tour manager’s little cousin dressed as him for Halloween.
“I was like, ‘I’m officially an icon, I did it,’” he adds.
And if you’re wondering how you can pull off a recognizable Teddy Swims costume, he says you simply need a fake beard, fake tattoos and jokes, “Maybe tuck a pillow under your shirt, get a little gut going.”

Your bravest, funniest, most-charming self shines through when you look and feel your best,” said Melissa Hobley, chief marketing officer at Tinder. “The majority of Tinder users are 18-30 years old, so working with their favorite beauty brand was a no-brainer. Nearly half (46 percent) of surveyed singles saying they notice when their date has spent time on their appearance. So, together with e.l.f., we’re proud to empower more singles to embrace all the pre-date butterflies, the optimism, and even a bit of the nerves so that they can face the first date with a confidence born from bold self-expression.”
“e.l.f. and Tinder are kindred spirits, united in our commitment to self-expression and empowerment. Together, we create a constellation that further fuels our community’s confidence,” said Kory Marchisotto, chief marketing officer, e.l.f. Beauty. “Finding a like-minded partner like Tinder is non-negotiable in our collaborations. We draw inspiration directly from the pulse of our communities and translate it into bold action. Knowing 80 percent of singles in the study said having a get-ready routine impacts their confidence on a first date, we created products to help them feel like their most empowered selves.”
The e.l.f. x Tinder collab is available exclusively at elfcosmetics.com while supplies last. Beauty lovers can shop other products from the brand, known for affordable makeup and skincare essentials, at retailers such as Target, Amazon, Walmart and Ulta Beauty.
