Worlds 2021 official theme unveiled: Burn It All Down

The League of Legends World Championship, or Worlds for short, is right around the corner, with teams from all regions gathering in Reykjavík, Iceland to compete for a multimillion-dollar prize pool and the honour of being named the best team in the world.

Riot knows how to hype up their competitive scenes. With Worlds music videos and songs becoming iconic components of its media and of themselves, you'd have to look no further than the calibre of artists involved over the years, such as Imagine Dragons, Zedd, Glitch Mob, just to name a few.

Worlds 2021 Official Theme Unveiled: Burn It All Down

Worlds 2021 developers partnered with alt-pop artist PVRIS and Chinese animation studio, Haoliners Animation League, this year to bring 'Burn It All Down' to life.

The stellar music video takes a step away from the fictional universe of Runeterra and puts pro players at the centre stage, including multiple cameos from all squads participating at Worlds. This includes 2020 champions, DWG KIA (formerly DAMWON Gaming) that features prominently above the rest, with an incredible sequence pitting Heo “ShowMaker” Su and Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon against each other.

Burn It All Down - Lyrics

If you fancy a sing-a-long, these are the lyrics.

This ain’t where the legends come from

You’re not what a hero looks like

Pretty little flower won’t you sit back down and go play nice

Keep talking, keep laughing

One day you’ll wish you hadn’t

All the people want fire, fire

Maybe it's time they meet their dragon

If you’re gonna hold me down

And you’re not gonna let me in

Into your castle walls

None of you can keep them

Cause if I gotta

Bu bu burn it all down

Then we’ll burn it all down my oh my look at who end up bigger this time

And if I gotta

Bu bu break it all down

Then let's break it all down

Bye bye bye

Playing with fire

And we burn it all down

This is where the bruises come from

This is when the game gets ugly

These blood, sweat, tears keep running

Licking my plate ’cause I’m so hungry

Keep talking, keep laughing

One day you’ll see what happens

All the people want fire, fire

It's about time they meet their dragon

If you’re gonna hold me down

And you’re not gonna let me in

Into your castle walls

None of you can keep them

Cause if I gotta

Bu bu burn it all down

Then we’ll burn it all down my oh my look at who end up bigger this time

And if I gotta

Bu bu break it all down

Then let's break it all down

Bye bye bye

Playing with fire

And we burn it all down

It starts right now

Baby you’re surrounded

Put your money where your mouth is

Bury your doubts under the ground

And they gonna watch you step over the ashes

Right now i’m taking my turn with the matches

Cause if I gotta

Bu bu burn it all down

Then we’ll burn it all down my oh my look at who end up bigger this time

And if I gotta

Bu bu break it all down

Then let's break it all down

Bye bye bye

Playing with fire And we burn it all down
