The anthem for Wild Rift Icons 2022 is here: Never Stop Me, and it’s a banger.
Riot is known for releasing an epic music video ahead of every edition of the League of Legends World Championships. Wild Rift fans were wondering if this would happen with the Icons Global Championship as well – and Riot has answered today by releasing the official song for the competition, Never Stop Me ft. Tkay Maidza.
Wild Rift Icons 2022 will take place from June 14 to July 9 to crown the first-ever world championship for the mobile MOBA title. Twenty-four teams from around the world have qualified for the event, which has a total prize pool of $2 million. It is happening at the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Center in Singapore.
Never Stop Me is the official song for the Wild Rift Icons Global Championship 2022
The music video for Never Stop Me can be seen on the official League of Legends: Wild Rift YouTube channel. The three minutes and 17 seconds video shows players chasing a ball of energy which later morphs into the Wild Rift Icons trophy. It also features champions like Vi, Yasuo, and Lucian.
Where can I listen to Never Stop Me?
Never Stop Me has been written by American musician BloodPop and Zimbabwean-Australian singer Tkay Maidza. The vocals have also been performed by Tkay Maidza. You can listen to the song on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music.
