Worlds 2023: Listen to GODS, the song for the LoL world championship

The wait has come to an end! Riot has finally released the theme song for Worlds 2023. It is about GODS, song created in partnership with the K-Pop group NewJeans and which has as its protagonist Deft, Worlds 2022 champion.

The clip in question shows Deft’s entire trajectory in his almost 10-year career until becoming world champion. The player, considered one of the best in history, had already won all possible titles, the World Cup being the only one he had not yet achieved.

GODS brings a clip full of references to several other players and moments from Deft’s career. In fact, at the end of the clip, the Brazilian Ayu, current ADC of FURIA, appears:

GODs song lyrics

DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS
DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS

(Hey) That’s why you came
Blood on the game ball
All falling like heavy rain
(Uh) This is your moment
Eyes on the pulpit, young man
(I) think the church just opened

And they’re singing your praises la-la-la
Screaming your name out loud la-la-la
One more step, you’re immortal now, because

When you play GOD
When you play GOD
They will collapse one by one
Then they go straight towards the sun like the day my kingdom won
Baby we are

DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS
Yes we are
DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS

Welcome to the big show
Next on the climb
Is that your name on the rafters?
Brief moment of silence
The bad girl woke up, chose violence

And they’re singing my praises la-la-la
Screaming my name out loud la-la-la
That’s why we’re immortal now, because

When you play GOD
When you play GOD
They will collapse one by one
Then they go straight towards the sun like the day my kingdom won
Baby we are

DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS
Oh yes we are
DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS

I’m on my knees
Pray for glory
Will anyone read this unlikely story?
I can’t get lost again
Help me lift this heart
Heart, indestructible

When you play GOD
When you play GOD
They will collapse one by one
Then they go straight towards the sun like the day my kingdom won
When you play GOD
When you play GOD
They will collapse one by one
Then they go straight towards the sun like the day my kingdom won
Baby we are

DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS
Oh yes we are
DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS
DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS
Oh yes we are
DE-DE-DE-DE-DE-GODS
