Hong Kong-born pop sensation G.E.M. has been tapped to perform the official anthem for the 2025 League of Legends World Championship. The announcement reveals a four-artist collaboration alongside Anyma, Chrissy Costanza, and TEYA that promises to deliver one of the most ambitious Worlds productions yet.
G.E.M. whose real name is Gloria Tang Tsz-kei, brings massive star power to gaming’s biggest stage. With sold-out tours across Asia and millions of streaming fans worldwide, she’s one of the most influential Chinese-language artists of her generation. Her ability to perform in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English makes her a perfect fit for Worlds’ global audience.
The collaboration doesn’t stop there. Fan-favorite vocalist Chrissy Costanza from Against The Current will also perform at Worlds 2025. This marks her triumphant return to the championship after delivering two of the most beloved Worlds songs ever—”Legends Never Die” in 2017 and “Phoenix” in 2019.
Electronic music producer Anyma and Austrian pop artist TEYA round out the opening ceremony lineup. Anyma, known for his mind-blowing audiovisual shows, hints at a spectacular production that could rival any arena concert. TEYA brings her Eurovision pedigree and international appeal to the mix.
The Worlds anthem has become a tradition that defines each championship. From Imagine Dragons’ “Warriors” in 2014 to NewJeans’ “Gods” in 2023, these songs become rallying cries for millions of fans. Past anthems have racked up billions of views and streams, turning them into cultural phenomena beyond gaming.
The hype train has officially left the station
This isn’t G.E.M.’s first gaming rodeo. She previously partnered with CrossFire for a music video and in-game character, showing she understands how to connect with gaming audiences. Her mainstream appeal could introduce League of Legends to entirely new demographics across Asia.
The full anthem typically drops a few weeks before Worlds begins, accompanied by a cinematic music video featuring champion animations and tournament highlights. With this star-studded lineup, expectations are through the roof for what could be the most watched Worlds opening ceremony ever.
