Every Song From the Netflix Action Animation

by Archynetys Entertainment Desk

Arcane: League of Legends is the Netflix animated action phenomenon created by Christian Linke and Alex Yee, produced by Riot Games, and featuring lush visuals from Fortiche Production. But as vital as its animation, Arcane’s soundtrack serves as a narrative engine, bringing together original songs, licensed tracks, and evocative scoring to express character arcs, emotional crescendos, and its epic world-building.

Across the two seasons of the series, several blockbuster artists have been featured, ranging from Imagine Dragons and Sting to Woodkid, Stromae, and the hit K-pop group Stray Kids. Each song or soundtrack featured in the series, whether original or licensed, was meticulously picked by the team, as Arcane creator and executive producer Linke shared with ONE Esports.

We’ll always start with a certain scene or character moment in the story that we would find something for. Big names were never necessary. There’s a lot of big names that are amazing at what they do, that’s usually what we would be attracted to.

While the theme of the series, named Enemy,  was created by Imagine Dragons and the rapper JID, the composers of the series are Alexander Temple and Alex Seaver. Below is your comprehensive guide to every licensed song featured in Season 1 and Season 2, including standout tracks and the story beats they underscore.

Starring voice actors like Hailee Steinfeld (Vi), Ella Purnell (Jinx), Katie Leung (Caitlyn), JB Blanc (Vander), Jason Spisak (Silco), and Toks Olagundoye (Mel), the series plunges us into the divided cities of Piltover and Zaun, telling the emotionally charged origin stories of beloved League of Legends characters.

With two seasons behind us and Arcane concluded, its soundtrack remains as rich and ember-lit as the cities it portrays. From the heartbreak and hope of Season 1 to the desperate beauty and chaos of Season 2, every song feels deliberate, carved with perfection for each frame. So which song did you like the best? Let us know in the comments below!

Arcane is available to stream on Netflix, while the official soundtrack can be streamed on Spotify or Apple Music.
