All Valorant Champions Songs and Artists, 2021 to 2026

Every Valorant Champions anthem has its own artist lineup, running from Die For You in Berlin to If The Sun Burns Out Tonight in Shanghai. Each song marks the finals of its event and sets the tone for the matches that decide the world title.

Riot Games commissions a new track and an animated music video for each Champions event, and the visuals center on agents, pro players, or the spirit of the game itself. Every anthem appears in order, along with the artists, music videos, and live performances behind each one.

  • Grabbitz worked on the anthems for Berlin, Istanbul, Los Angeles, and Shanghai, giving him the most credits of any artist in the lineup.

  • Ticking Away fuses rock and electronic beats, and the Shanghai anthem pushes the sound even heavier.

  • Two anthems carry over into in-game finishers, so players hear the music inside matches.

September 16, 2026

The sound shifts a lot from one anthem to the next, moving from dance-floor electronics to hip hop, K-pop, and heavy rock. A single producer returns for four of the six anthems, which keeps a thread of consistency running through otherwise very different tracks.

Riot tied at least one pick to the host region by bringing in stars from South Korea's music scene. Fans looking for a specific track can also search by host city, since each Champions event has exactly one official anthem.


Die For You, the 2021 Berlin Champions Anthem

Die For You

Die For You set the template for every anthem that followed. Grabbitz wrote, produced, and sang the track, and Riot built the song around the spirit of the game itself, with no single team or player as its focus.

The lyrics follow high-stakes plays and the effort to step back and overcome fear in the middle of a round. In the music video, Phoenix, Sage, Brimstone, and Chamber play out a tense retake where underpowered defenders race to defuse the Spike against an Operator-wielding Chamber. Part of that footage also appears in the finisher for the Berlin Champions Vandal, and collectors can get there hand on it by getting a Champions 2021 Vandal Accounts.


Fire Again, the 2022 Istanbul Champions Anthem

Fire Again

Fire Again shifted the sound toward a harder-hitting style, with Ashnikko on vocals and Grabbitz collaborating again. Some fans doubted the track could follow the first anthem, yet it grew on the community over time.

The music video drops agents like Chamber, Astra, Raze, and Jett into different worlds, from desolate deserts and an urban metropolis to outer space. 42 real pro players appear as well, including TenZ and MeL, and the pros morph into agents near the end. The beat drop also plays in the finisher on the Champions Phantom from that event, so players hear the track during matches.


Ticking Away, the 2023 Los Angeles Champions Anthem

Ticking Away

Ticking Away fuses rock elements with pulsing electronic beats, and the title nods to the Spike counting down in every round. Grabbitz teamed up with Canadian rapper bbno$ on the track, marking his third Champions anthem. Collectors who want skins from the same event can look at the 2023 Champions Vandal.

The music video follows five friends dressed as agents, and the story centers on a young esports player who makes it into the big leagues. Scenes in an arcade, a diner, and under a stage spotlight carry the plot, and Gekko gets heavy focus in the visuals.


Superpower, the 2024 Seoul Champions Anthem

Superpower

Superpower brought Julie and Natty of KISS OF LIFE together with Mark Tuan of GOT7, an American singer and rapper. The track carries a clear K-pop influence, and Tuan adds rap to the mix. Seoul also has a Vandal of its own in the 2024 Champions Vandal.

The music video pays tribute to K-pop and pro gaming by turning players from the four leagues into iconic agents. References to maps, agents, and abilities fill the frames, along with a string of cameos. One cameo accidentally foreshadowed EDward Gaming winning the whole event.


Last Shot, the 2025 Paris Champions Anthem

Last Shot

Last Shot comes from templuv, a rising duo, with Canadian artist 347aidan featured on the track. One templuv member plays VALORANT and belongs to the OfflineTV creator collective, giving the song an insider's view of the game. Paris follows the same pattern with the 2025 Champions Vandal.

The cinematic music video centers on the split-second decisions that win or lose rounds. The track aims to capture the intensity and emotional swings that define the tournament.


If The Sun Burns Out Tonight, the 2026 Shanghai Champions Anthem

If The Sun Burns Out Tonight

If The Sun Burns Out Tonight is the heaviest anthem in the lineup, blending heavy guitars with intense electronic beats. Grabbitz wrote and produced the track for his fourth Champions anthem.

Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon and Courtney LaPlante of Spiritbox provide the vocals. For Sykes, the project marks a first esports collaboration, and Grabbitz says the result sits between his electronic world and the sound of both vocalists' bands. The official music video features the Phantom from the event's cosmetic bundle, and the Champions Skins post covers every item inside the collection.

Why the Champions Anthems Matter

The anthems show how Riot treats Champions as a full entertainment event, with a song, a music video, a live performance, and an in-game collection that all center on the same finals. Fans who follow VALORANT esports can treat each anthem as a soundtrack for its event, and the host city or lead artist makes every song easy to place.

Collectors who want a piece of that soundtrack in their own collection can check GameBoost, where Champions Vandals and other rare skins appear on accounts for sale. Comparing those Champions Vandals against the top picks in the Vandal Skins rankings makes the choice easier.
