NewJeans delivered a winner for this year’s League of Legends World Championship anthem, making them the first K-pop group in the game’s history to provide a song for the event.
“Gods” also marks the 10th anniversary of anthems for the game’s world championship. The new track arrived on Wednesday along with a video featuring Korean pro player Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu. According to a press release, the visual follows his story “from his discovery of League of Legends in high school, to his run at Worlds 2022 alongside his team that overcame all odds to become World Champions.”
The group swaps their usual pop and R&B sound for heavy-hitting synths as they sing, “One more step, you’re immortal now ’cause/Once you play God, once you play God/They’re gonna crumble one by one/ Then we gonna ride right into the sun/Like it’s the day my kingdom come.” [Source]
