Who’s on the Arcane Season 2 soundtrack? Artists, tracks & score explained

Arcane Season 2 is nearly here, and in line with one of League of Legends’ greatest traditions, it has a killer soundtrack and score filled with eclectic original songs by a diverse range of artists – from Ashnikko to Sheryl Lee Ralph.

Music has always been a huge part of the League of Legends gaming universe, with Riot Games consistently using powerful and immersive soundtracks to enhance gameplay and storytelling.

Riot’s commitment to music is most apparent in its League of Legends Worlds, having partnered with well-known artists like Imagine Dragons and Lil Nas X, and collaborated with K-pop artists to form virtual groups such as K/DA and True Damage.

So, when the first chapter of Arcane dropped on Netflix, it came as no surprise that its original score and soundtrack played a significant role. And you can expect plenty more where that came from with Arcane Season 2.

Up until now, Eason Chan’s ‘Isha’s Song’ was simply listed as ‘Track 10’, leading to plenty of speculation that its title contained a spoiler. However, on November 7, Riot Games released the video and title, showing Jinx with the new character who’s been referred to as “Baby Jinx.”

The video has left Arcane fans feeling emotional, with one writing on Reddit, “MV made me cry a little. I really liked the song and the video is very touching. What do you think about these shots with Jinx and Isha. New Jinx’s friend, sister?”

Another replied, “God, it’s enough to make me cry. It’s so sweet seeing Jinx and this little girl together, with Jinx smiling and seeming genuinely happy. I hope that, through Isha (or whatever her name turns out to be), Jinx is able to find love for herself, especially her younger self.”

Arcane Season 2 score explained

As for the background music to support the show’s atmosphere and tone, the Arcane Season 2 score is composed by Alex Seaver and Alexander Temple, the same composers who worked on the Season 1 score.

Seaver, better known by his stage name Mako, is a music producer and DJ from LA who executive produced the show’s soundtrack too. Temple goes by Scherzophrenia, and has been a Riot Games composer since 2014.
