Musical scores and content are a big part of the package that Riot Games presents to its community. For years now, the company has been jokingly regarded as a "music company" by fans and its player base. Be it a hard-hitting metal song, a soft orchestral piece, or a head-bopping pop song, Riot Games has always delivered. Valorant is now experiencing what League of Legends, Riot's flagship game, has experienced musically over the last decade.
Riot Games has been regularly releasing musical content and songs for Valorant since its release.
Here's a list of all Valorant songs to vibe to and get hyped before entering a game.
Valorant Music Videos You Should Watch
Just like how Riot Games releases music videos filled with great storylines for League of Legends World Championship or LoL Worlds, Valorant also has three dedicated music videos for Valorant Champions, the esports championship for Valorant.
This year-ender tournament's first iteration was in 2021 and currently, Valorant Champions 2023 is going on in Los Angeles, USA. Here are the anthems that Riot Games has released for Valorant Champions over the three years:
Die For You ft. Grabbitz: Valorant Champions 2021
This anthem features Valorant agents including Sage, Brimstone, Phoenix, and Chamber. The premise is about Sage, Brim and Phoenix entering B site in Split, trying to defuse the spike and having to make sacrifices to successfully defuse the bomb. The music video also has multiple, separate sequences that show who the agents really are. A part of this music video is also featured in the finisher of the Valorant Champions 2021 Vandal.
Fire Again ft. Ashnikko: Valorant Champions 2022
In 2022, Riot Games brought professional Valorant players into the picture by incorporating them into the Fire Again music video for Valorant Champions 2022. Some of the pros featured include:
Sentinels' Tyson "TenZ" Ngo
Cloud9 Melanie “MeL” Capone
G2 Esports Michaela "mimi" Lintrup
Fnatic Jake "Boaster" Howlett
Paper Rex Benedict "Benkai" Tan
Acend Patryk “starxo” Kopczyński
LOUD Gustavo "Sacy" Rossi

Notably, the beat drop from this song was used in the finisher of the Valorant Champions 2022 Phantom skin.
Ticking Away ft. Grabbitz & bbno$: Valorant Champions 2023
The title track for Valorant Champions 2023 called Ticking Away was finally released by Riot Games on 31st July. The song took listeners on a journey "of growing up, growing apart, and staying together across the many One More's of life, love, and Valorant." The 3 minutes 23 seconds long music video narrates a complete story woven around the theme of 'One More' and has been 'dedicated to all the knee scrapes, playdates, and heartaches.'
Apart from these Valorant Champions songs, you can also vibe to the following music content produced by Riot Games exclusively for its first-person hero shooter:
