I'm beyond happy about this collaboration, and the result is something really special!"
“We love Stromae and Pomme and we love the beautiful song that they wrote for Ekko and Powder,” said Coldplay. “It’s an honour to contribute to this new version and to the Arcane and League of Legends universe.”

"The song has been a global phenomenon since the release of the show and Coldplay's version of the track brings it to new heights with the addition of Chris Martin's brilliant English verse. Coldplay and Stromae have wanted to make music together for a long time, and this collaboration felt like a completely organic way to add a new dimension to this iconic song."
