Coldplay is joining Stromae and Pomme for a new version of "Ma Meilleure Ennemie," one of the most hyped new songs from the Arcane Season 2 soundtrack, and the Arcane fandom is losing its mind.

Reaction quickly flooded social media, and one viral note captured the mood:

The internet explodes

The hype was unreal from the moment the news dropped. An explosion of excitement, speculation, and sheer disbelief ensued as fans of Arcane, Stromae, Pomme, and Coldplay all collided in one giant fandom.

"Arcane soundtracks never miss, and this lineup is insane!" - Wrote Domiii on X.

"Stromae, Pomme & Coldplay joining forces for Arcane S2? This isn’t just a song - it’s a legendary collab in the making! Roll on April 4!" - Velvet chimed in on X.

"This soundtrack alone might carry Arcane S2 to the Emmys. Stromae + Coldplay. We’re not ready." - Added Meena on X.

The original version of the song had already made a deep impression, many fans recalled. Its melancholic melodies and emotional lyrics made the song an immediate favorite with viewers of Arcane — especially as a very invested viewer of the Jinx and Ekko storyline.

"Arcane’s visuals + Coldplay’s emotions + Stromae’s genius = literal perfection. Goosebumps loading…" - Wrote SeyHub on X.

"Arcane S2 soundtrack is already shaping up to be legendary!" - Wrote Clutch Queen on X.

"Expect chills, drama, and that iconic blend of French artistry + Coldplay’s anthemic magic." - Wrote India Info on X.

A song that left a mark

“Ma Meilleure Ennemie,” originally played by Stromae and Pomme, served as a signature piece of Arcane Season 2’s emotional storytelling. The song, also known as "My Best Enemy," is speculated to represent the tumultuous relationship between Jinx and Ekko, two fan-favorite characters with a long history.

The original, with its instantly recognizable combination of glittering electronic-infused orchestration and textured, hauntingly ethereal vocals boasted by Pomme, strummed listeners’ aural heartstrings when it debuted earlier this fall.

Coldplay joins the magic

And now, with the news that Coldplay will be part of the new iteration, hopes are high. The British group, renowned for their evocative melodies and cinematic sound, will likely add just the right depth and atmosphere to the song. Fans are speculating that Chris Martin’s dark vocal style will fit seamlessly into the original performance by Stromae and Pomme, making for an even more poignant composition.

Arcane soundtrack legacy

Arcane has been known since its initial season for its stellar music, including work by artists such as Imagine Dragons, Woodkid, and Bea Miller in a world-class soundtrack. With the addition of Coldplay to an already beloved song, the excitement reached historic heights, and Season 2 is set to raise the stakes even higher.
