Lil’ Nas X (the unofficial president of League of Legends) has partnered with LoL Esports to reveal the anthem for Worlds 22, STAR WALKIN’. Check the music video out above.
“We wanted this year’s Worlds anthem to have that North American flair while truly embodying the One&Only brand – unapologetic in its individuality. And who better to represent that idea than Lil Nas X?” said Carrie Dunn, Global Head of Creative, Esports at Riot Games. “Lil Nas X tapped into our vision and took it to the next level. ‘STAR WALKIN’ perfectly captures the relentless competitive drive of our pros; that burning desire to claim your place in history and reach the stars. It’s the essence of each pro’s journey to the World Final and lifting the coveted Summoner’s Cup. The Worlds Anthem comes with high expectations. It needs to inspire our pros, hype our fans, and prepare a live stadium audience of thousands – and a broadcast of millions – for the ultimate competitive showdown. And I can confidently say ‘STAR WALKIN’ did just that.”
From the press release:
“The video highlights iconic landmarks in San Francisco, the destination city for the World Final, and League of Legends pros past and present. The environment transforms as the pros move throughout the city, showcasing the sport’s iconic place in culture and the mastery of each pro as they leave their mark on the world. An easter egg can be found through almost every shot, from regional league flair to giant Champions-turned-mechs to fun facts about the pros of LoL Esports.”
Here are the lyrics:
Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathing
Racing to the moonlight and I’m speeding
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’
Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathing
Racing to the moonlight and I’m speeding
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’On a mission to get high up I know that Imma die reachin for a life that I don’t really need at all
Never listened to replies learned a lesson from the wise you should never take advice from somebody
That ain’t try
They said I wouldn’t make it out alive
They told me I would never see the rise
That’s why I gotta get ‘em every time
Gotta watch ‘em bleed tooDon’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathing
Racing to the moonlight and I’m speeding
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’
Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathing
Racing to the moonlight and I’m speeding
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’Been that ha since I came out my mama
Thanking g-d daddy never wore a
Prove ‘em wrong every time til it’s normal
Why worship legends when you know that you can join ‘em
These demons don’t like me, they don’t like me
Likely, they wanna fight me
Come on try it out, try me
They put me down but I never cried out
Why me, words from the wise
Don’t put worth inside somebodyThat ain’t try
They said I wouldn’t make it out alive
They told me I would never see the rise
That’s why I gotta get ‘em every time
Gotta watch ‘em bleed tooDon’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathing
Racing to the moonlight and I’m speeding
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’
Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathing
Racing to the moonlight and I’m speeding
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’star walkin’
Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathing
Racing to the moonlight and I’m speeding
I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far
I’m star walkin’
