The song was written by the artists alongside Alexander Seaver, as well as Stromae's brother and long-time collaborator Luc Van Haver. In April 2025, an extended version of the soundtrack was released, which includes a new version of "Ma meilleure ennemie" featuring British rock band Coldplay and Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna.[1]
Background
On 23 November 2024, Stromae took to social media to announce his collaboration with Pomme, saying they "crafted a special song" for the final season of the series Arcane, which was released on Netflix the same day.[2]
The song marked the return of the singer after a two-year break from music and the cancellation of his Multitude Tour in early 2023 for health reasons.[3]
"Ma meilleure ennemie" plays during "Pretend Like It's the First Time", the seventh episode of Arcane's second season. It accompanies a key scene that sees the characters Ekko and Powder dancing.
