JUNE 30th 2025 - DINO of SEVENTEEN, Duckwrth and The Word Alive, have teamed up for the latest Esports World Cup 2025 official track, ‘Til My Fingers Bleed’. The high energy and genre bending track fuses k-pop, hip-hop and rock, and releases alongside its stunning visualiser. ‘Til My Fingers Bleed’ is the result of three incredible talents coming together -, SEVENTEEN star DINO, dynamic, boundary-pushing force rapper, singer, and producer Duckwrth, and powerful singer-songwriter Telle Smith of American metalcore band The Word Alive. DINO of SEVENTEEN, Duckwrth and The Word Alive are joining global superstar Post Malone, GRAMMY nominated DJ Alesso and critically acclaimed virtuoso cellist Tina Guo, who were announced last week as performers at the electrifying EWC Opening Ceremony which will take place on July 10th in Riyadh. ‘Til My Fingers Bleed’ was written and produced by Alex Karlsson and T.Ma, known for their work with BTS, G.E.M., and ATEEZ, along with Jared Lee (Duckwrth) who also contributed by writing the song’s in-your-face rap verse. 
Reflecting on the track, DINO said, “From the moment I first heard the song, I was struck by its intensity. I focused on finding a tone that best matched the music while also expressing a powerful mood and showcasing my unique color.” He added, “It’s my first time performing at the EWC opening ceremony, so I’m looking forward to experiencing the atmosphere and energy of the audience.”
Of the exciting new track, Telle Smith of The Word Alive adds, “Gaming has been a part of my life for as long as music has, so getting to bring a genre bending song to a global stage like this feels surreal. I’m honored to share the moment in Riyadh with Duckwrth and Dino. I think fans all over the world will love “Til My Fingers Bleed”.
Duckwrth commented, ‘This was an exciting project to be a part of. I love stepping outside of what I do as an artist to explore other characters and sides of my craft’.
The artists also bring strong music ties to pop culture, gaming and esports: Duckwrth’s “Start a Riot” featured on the Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack, while The Word Alive’s “RISE” was the 2018 League of Legends Worlds anthem, now streamed over 300 million times.
“From day one, the Esports World Cup has been created as a global stage for gaming culture across all genres”, said Ariel Horn, Executive Producer, Esports World Cup Foundation. “Each artist on ‘Til My Fingers Bleed’ brings a unique sound that connects with players, whether they’re into sports, fighting, or action games. We’re excited to see how players and fans pick this track up around the world and hope they will embrace it.” 
Viranda Tantula, Executive Creative Director, EWC Music, added: “Music is a universal language, and this is something it shares with gaming. What inspires us at this intersection of music and esports is the opportunity to shape new sounds for a truly global audience. We’ve always been drawn to creative experimentation, and with “Til My Fingers Bleed’, we wanted the collision of genres and international artists to reflect the same global mix of games and players that defines the Esports World Cup. The whole team has poured their hearts into this project, and we hope the community, k-pop, hip-hop, and rock fans feel the energy in both the track and the show.” 
‘Til My Fingers Bleed’ follows the release of Alesso’s remix of 'Ascension' ft. Tina Guo, a reimagination of the orchestral original laced with his signature euphoric production style. Both tracks are part of the EWC Music initiative, a new programme creating an original musical identity for the Esports World Cup and celebrating esports’ deep connection with music. Launched in April with a four-track suite composed by 2WEI and Hollywood Scoring, recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios, the programme continues with live performances, artist collaborations, and global fan activations. The tracks will be featured across tournament broadcasts, live events, and digital content throughout the seven-week competition, which begins on July 7 in Riyadh. 
The Esports World Cup is the world’s premier esports event. Its unique cross-game format will reward Clubs and players competing for a life-changing prize pool across multiple platforms and genres – bringing together the best teams, players, and titles under one banner in the largest-ever celebration of competitive gaming.
