Fans, music magazines, and even the World Music Awards are head over heels for the K-Pop group New Jeans.
The countdown is on: just a few days left before the commencement of the LoL Worlds 2023. But even before this grand spectacle kicks off, another star has stolen the spotlight – the brand-new anthem “Gods” by South Korean K-Pop sensation, New Jeans. 🎶
Gods – Not Just an Anthem
Just as the excitement for the LoL Worlds 2023 was reaching its peak, Riot Games dropped a bombshell: “Gods”, a sonorous, bass-driven track. Dominated by drum machines at the onset, this catchy tune doesn’t waste any time getting stuck in your head.
But the beat isn’t its only standout feature: the song commences with choral singing emphasizing its anthemic nature, followed by crystal-clear vocals highlighting the line “once you play god.”
New Jeans – Making Gaming History
It’s a first in the gaming world: a K-Pop group producing a song for such a major eSport event. A bold move that’s paying off big time. Within hours of its YouTube release on October 4th, the song shot up the charts, eliciting rave reviews from fans and critics alike. 💥

“Gods” is on a roll. In no time, it secured the third spot on the YouTube Charts in France and the League Charts. Major music publications like Rolling Stone are providing hourly updates about this fresh release, and the accolades don’t stop there.
