Hong Kong superstar G.E.M. will be the artist for the Worlds 2025 anthem and will headline the Opening Ceremony.
Ahead of this year's League of Legends 2025 World Championship, Riot Games has begun teasing some details about the competition. This includes the artist for the Worlds 2025 anthem: G.E.M.
Worlds 2025 anthem artist G.E.M.
G.E.M. is a prominent Shanghai-born, Hong Kong-raised pop singer-songwriter and producer. She holds a lot of achievements under her belt, thanks to her vocals and versatility. Firstly, her hit "Light Years Away," which was used as the Chinese theme song for the film Passengers, is currently a Guinness World Record holder as the most-viewed Chinese music video on YouTube at almost 300 million views. Moreover, she was the first Mandarin-pop star to release a full Spanish album with Revelación. As of March 2025, her ongoing "I Am Gloria" world tour, which has collectively generated $424 million in gross revenue, is the fourth-highest-grossing tour by a female artist, surpassing those of other artists such as Madonna, Blackpink, Lady Gaga, and Celine Dion. This figure also places the tour as the 19th-highest-grossing tour in history.
"I am truly honored to collaborate with Riot Games on the anthem for this year’s 15th LoL Esports World Championship in China," said G.E.M. "Having followed LoL Esports for some time, I’ve been deeply moved by the fighting spirit on stage. The courage to sacrifice for the team and the strength to hold on to one’s beliefs resonate with me not only as an artist, but also as someone who has risen against the odds and poured everything into pursuing a dream. I hope to capture that spirit through music and share it with fans all around the world."
Riot Games are yet to reveal the title for the Worlds 2025 anthem.
G.E.M will also headline the Worlds 2025 Final Opening Ceremony alongside Italian-American DJ and producer Anyma. Supporting performances from Chrissy Costanza, who sang Legends Never Die, and "Bite Marks" artist TEYA.
