Arcane Unveils Stunning ‘Ma Meilleure Ennemie’ Music Video Featuring Ekko & Jinx

While fans of Arcane are still hoping for a third season, the legacy of beloved characters Jinx and Ekko continues to shine through a captivating new music video. The video features ‘Ma Meilleure Ennemie, ’ one of the standout tracks from Season 2, performed by Belgian artist Stromae and French singer-songwriter Pomme.

After the conclusion of the second season on Netflix in November 2024, which marked the end of this chapter in the expansive League of Legends animated universe, excitement remains for the planned spinoffs that are set to launch in the future.

In Episode 7 of Season 2, titled ‘Pretend Like It’s The First Time, ’ audiences are taken on a journey through alternate realities where Zaun is liberated, Vander is alive, and Jinx’s path has taken a different direction, allowing her to explore a romantic connection with Ekko. This narrative twist is poignant, highlighting their brief moments of joy before Ekko must return to his own universe to aid his people. Their final dance is a stunning visual metaphor for Ekko’s Z-drive ability, displayed in a mesmerizing sequence of four frames per second.

Accompanying this emotional scene is the poignant track ‘Ma Meilleure Ennemie, ’ which serves as both a backdrop and a narrative tool. Released on March 20, 2025, by League of Legends, the music video was expertly produced by Fortiche, the animation studio behind Arcane. The video features original animated scenes where Ekko and Jinx passionately engage with the vocals of Stromae and Pomme.

Set within the unique universe of Arcane, the video alternates between nostalgic VHS-style footage of the duo dancing together, blissfully unaware of the harsh realities lying outside their secluded world. In a heart-wrenching finale, Jinx ascends into the air, sadness etched on her face, only to be embraced by Ekko in a heartfelt moment that is bound to bring tears to fans’ eyes.

Stromae shared his thoughts on the project with fans via Billboard, stating, “My first reaction when I saw the scene was, frankly, I found it quite poetic. I understood the vision that the directors and all the animators had of the series.” He noted that the synergy between the music and the animation was particularly strong, especially during such a pivotal moment.

The music video quickly gained traction, racking up over four million views in just 17 hours and generating more than 26, 000 comments from an enthusiastic fanbase.

One fan remarked, “Anyone who still thinks Ekko only loves the perfect version of Jinx needs to see this. He cares for her, he yearns for her and he will always be there to catch her when she falls. He chose her.” Another echoing sentiment said, “Ekko didn’t just save Jinx with that hug. He saved the heart of every timebomb fan. Truly the boy savior.” Additionally, a third pointed out, “After watching it a few times, I noticed a few things that were breaking: the scene where he hugs her parallels her jump after his shadow disappears. My heart… I can’t.”

Intro (Stromae & Apple)

I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
- I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
- I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
- I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
- I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you

Verse 1 (Stromae)

You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.
- You’re the best thing to ever happen to me
But also the worst thing that happened to me
- But also the worst thing to ever happen to me
That day I met you, I might have preferred
- On that day when I met you, maybe I would rather
May this day never come
- That it never happened to me
The worst blessing
- The worst of all blessings
The most beautiful curse
- The best of all curses
I should get away from you
- I should stray away from you
But as the saying goes
- But as the saying goes
Rather than being alone, it is better to be in bad company.
- “Better than alone, is to be in bad company”

Pre-chorus (Stromae, Stromae & Pomme, Pomme)

You know what they say
- You know what they say
Be close to your dearest friends
- Stay close to your dearest friends
But also
- But also
Even closer to your opponents
- Even closer to your adversaries

Chorus (Stromae & Pomme)

But my worst enemy is you
- But my best enemy is you
Run away from me, the worst is you and me
- Flee from me, the worst is you and I
But if you still seek my voice
- But if you keep searching for my voice
Forget me, the worst is you and me
- Forget me, the worst is you and I

Verse 2 (Apple)

Why does your first name hurt me?
- Why does hearing your name hurt me
When he hides, right there in space?
- When it hides right there in the vicinity?
What emotion is hatred?
- What kind of emotion, is it hatred
Or the sweetness when I hear your name?
- Or pure sweetness when I hear your name?

Pre-Chorus (Apple)

I told you, don’t look back
- I had told you, not to keep looking behind
The past that follows you, wages war on me
- Your past will follow you and wage war on you

Chorus (Stromae & Pomme)

But my worst enemy is you
- But my best enemy is you
Run away from me, the worst is you and me
- Flee from me, the worst is you and I
But my worst enemy is you
- But my best enemy is you
Run away from me, the worst is you and me
- Flee from me, the worst is you and I

Outro (Stromae & Pomme)

I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
- I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
- I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
- I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
- I love you, I hate you, I love you, I hate you
