SEVENTEEN’s Dino, Duckwrth and Telle Smith launch Esports World Cup anthem

The Esports World Cup Foundation (EWCF) has released its official anthem for the Esports World Cup 2025, titled “Til My Fingers Bleed.” The song features DINO of K-pop group SEVENTEEN, American artist Duckwrth and Telle Smith, lead singer of The Word Alive. The song aims to fuse different genres, such as K-pop, hip-hop, metal and rock.

Written and produced by Alex Karlsson, Duckwrth and T.Ma, the song is now available for streaming on multiple platforms, including YouTube, Spotify and Melon.

Video games have been as much a part of my life as music, so to be able to bring a genre-melding song to a global stage like this seems surreal to me. It’s an honor to share this moment in Riyadh with Duckwrth and Dino. I think fans around the world will love “Til My Fingers Bleed.

“Til My Fingers Bleed” will be performed live for the first time during the EWC 2025 opening ceremony, which will also feature performances by Alesso, Tina Guo and Post Malone.

From day one, the Esports World Cup has been created as a global stage for video game culture of all genres. Each artist on “Til My Fingers Bleed” brings a unique sound that connects with gamers, whether they are fans of esports, fighting games or action games. We can’t wait to see how gamers and fans around the world receive this song and hope they love it.
