HEARTSTEEL Return With ‘Live My Life’

HEARTSTEEL has returned with ‘Live My Life,’ a new single and official music video released by Riot Games on September 18. It is the League of Legends virtual group’s second single and its first new song since ‘PARANOIA’ in October 2023. The comeback retains BAEKHYUN as the voice of Ezreal while introducing three different vocal collaborators for the other performed roles. The confirmed news is a music release and a video. Neither should be confused with an announced gameplay patch, a new champion or a guaranteed skin launch.

HEARTSTEEL mixes fictional League of Legends personas with real recording artists, and the distinction can be lost in short social posts. K’Sante, Ezreal, Sett and Kayn are characters in the project; Anderson .Paak, BAEKHYUN, Connor Price and Nic D are the credited vocal performers on this release. Aphelios and Yone complete the fictional group in non-vocal creative roles. Riot’s own news index confirms the official video was released, while Strafe’s release report identifies the song’s timing and performers. That combination is enough to describe the comeback without inventing plans for in-game content or treating an artistic persona as a real esports player.

The voices behind the new single

BAEKHYUN returns as Ezreal, the one continuing vocal performer from the group’s debut release. Anderson .Paak performs K’Sante, Connor Price performs Sett, and Nic D performs Kayn on ‘Live My Life.’ The four names are not interchangeable with the fictional members they portray. Strafe also identifies Aphelios as the lineup’s instrumentalist and songwriter and Yone as its producer. That six-member character framework and four-person vocal credit are compatible, not contradictory: some group roles are represented as creative production rather than a credited singing part. The table below makes the relationship explicit for readers encountering the project for the first time.

The lineup also marks a change from ‘PARANOIA.’ The 2023 debut used BAEKHYUN, tobi lou, OZI and Cal Scruby as the four vocal performers. BAEKHYUN continues on the new track; Anderson .Paak, Connor Price and Nic D are additions to this recording lineup. That is a specific personnel comparison, not a claim that the fictional characters have been removed or replaced. The same fictional group name connects the releases across the almost three-year gap. A new set of collaborators can change the sound and presentation without proving anything about the game’s future content schedule. The official video is the visual companion that has actually arrived alongside the song.

What the comeback does and does not confirm

The release supplies a clear present-tense update: a new HEARTSTEEL single exists, Riot has issued its official music video, and listeners can identify the artists behind the featured character roles. It also supplies a chronology. ‘PARANOIA’ introduced the project in October 2023; ‘Live My Life’ ends the period without another single in September 2026. Readers who missed the debut can therefore understand why the return matters without needing a claim about sales, chart performance or fan reaction that has not been verified here.

Music and in-game content are related parts of the League of Legends universe, but one does not automatically announce the other. The cited release information does not establish a new skin line, a new champion or a gameplay update accompanying ‘Live My Life.’ Those developments would need their own Riot announcement. Keeping that boundary clear is especially important because virtual-group visuals can resemble promotional game art. An official music video is still an official music video, not a patch note. The article’s editorial illustrations are conceptual and are not frames from Riot’s video.

There is also no need to reproduce the song’s lyrics to report the news. The title, date, credited performers and connection to the debut are enough to explain the release. Readers looking for the music can find it through Riot’s official channels, while this piece focuses on the verified context: who is involved, how the lineup changed, and what was actually announced. That approach keeps the story grounded in the release rather than in guesses about a broader campaign. HEARTSTEEL’s return is notable on its own terms as a new work by a familiar virtual group.

• Riot released the single and official video on September 18.
• BAEKHYUN returns as Ezreal; three other vocal performers join this release.
• No new skin or gameplay change is established by the cited announcement.

‘Live My Life’ gives HEARTSTEEL its first new single since the 2023 debut and pairs it with an official Riot video. The change in vocal collaborators is documented; further game content is not. That is the useful distinction for League of Legends readers following the group’s return.
