If you’re still vibing from Arcane Season 2, Netflix just gave fans another reason to obsess. The emotional standout track “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” (My Best Enemy) — originally by Stromae and Pomme — just got a major upgrade. The new extended version now includes Coldplay’s very own Chris Martin and a surprise appearance by Elyanna, adding extra emotional firepower to an already unforgettable song.
Let’s break it all down — from lyrics and animation to fan reactions and where to stream it.
🎧 What’s New in the Extended Version?
The original version already hit hard, especially for anyone invested in Arcane’s intense character dynamics (looking at you, Jinx and Vi fans). But this updated track adds even more depth:
-
Chris Martin brings his signature haunting, melodic vocals, singing lines like:
“I love you and I hate you... You make me want to run away, but also stay.” -
Elyanna adds subtle background harmonies in Arabic, which beautifully contrast and elevate the multilingual nature of the track.
-
The core conflict and emotional duality are now even more layered — perfect for Arcane's complex characters.
🎤 Who’s Behind the Music?
Here’s the superstar lineup:
-
🎙️ Stromae – Belgian genius of blending emotional depth with electronic rhythms.
-
🎙️ Pomme – French indie-pop singer known for her ethereal voice and poetic lyrics.
-
🎙️ Chris Martin – Frontman of Coldplay, returning to collaborate with Stromae after “Arabesque” (from Everyday Life, Grammy-nominated).
-
🎙️ Elyanna – Rising Palestinian-Chilean singer who brings a unique, global flavor.
This isn’t just a remix—it’s a true musical expansion.
🎬 Arcane & The Emotional Power of Music
If you're watching Arcane Season 2 (or still emotionally recovering from it), you already know music plays a huge role in storytelling. “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” surfaces in key moments between characters like Jinx, Vi, and Ekko, where betrayal, love, and regret collide.
The new version of the song syncs with the show’s core theme: love and hate are often two sides of the same coin. The lyric video combines powerful animation with cinematic transitions that line up perfectly with the lyrics.
🗣️ Fan Reactions? It’s a Mixed Bag (and That’s Okay)
Not all fans are on the same page — and that’s part of the fun. Some fans are LOVING the added Coldplay energy, while others prefer the more minimal, raw emotion of the original.

You're the best thing that ever happened to me
