“Sucker” by Marcus King, Arcane

The song serves as a soundtrack to the chaos that has taken over the Lanes in Zaun, with the various Chem-Barons vying for control after the Arcane end of season 1. The song also takes on a stylized music video quality, focusing on Jinx’s sense of isolation after the events of the first season.

“Renegade (We Never Run)” by Stefflon Don, Raja Kumari, Jarina De Marco and Arcane

“Renegade (We Never Run)” plays during one of the last scenes of “Watch It All Burn”. The upbeat track serves as musical accompaniment to Sevika and Jinx’s fight against Smeech and his gang.

This fusion of songs signifies the new bond forming between the old rivals in light of Silco’s demise.
