Ahri’s foxfire is flickering again. On August 25, 2026, a new song titled “WATCH ME” appeared in the ASCAP repertory, credited to performers K/DA. The registration (Work ID 929188000, ISWC T3311396933) quickly spread across fan communities and chart accounts, marking the first concrete sign of new K/DA material since the All Out EP in 2020.1
While a copyright registration does not guarantee an imminent release, it is a standard early step in the music industry and has led fans to interpret it as the end of a long quiet period for the virtual group.
The Registration Details
The ASCAP listing shows K/DA as the performer. Writers credited include:
Sebastien Najand — Principal Composer at Riot Games Music and a core creative force behind K/DA from the beginning (including “POP/STARS”). He has also contributed to other major Riot projects such as Worlds anthems and HEARTSTEEL.
Ali Tamposi — Highly successful pop songwriter known for hits including Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello’s “Señorita,” Camila Cabello’s “Havana,” DJ Snake & Justin Bieber’s “Let Me Love You,” and Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You).”
Nija Charles (listed as Charles Nija Aisha-Alayja) — In-demand songwriter and producer with credits on Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande’s “Rain on Me,” Ariana Grande’s “Positions,” Chris Brown’s “No Guidance,” and work with Beyoncé, Cardi B, and others. She has received multiple Grammy nominations, including for Songwriter of the Year.
Felicia “Feli” Ferraro — Songwriter with notable K-pop experience (LE SSERAFIM’s “UNFORGIVEN” featuring Nile Rodgers and “HOT,” BTS’s “Run BTS”) plus mainstream hits such as Coi Leray’s “Players.”
Federico Vindver — Argentine producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who has worked extensively with Kanye West (Jesus Is King), Coldplay (“Higher Power”), Justin Bieber, and many others.
The combination of Riot’s in-house composer with this level of external pop and K-pop writing talent is notable. It suggests Riot is aiming for a polished, contemporary sound rather than relying solely on internal resources.
What Comes Next?
For now, “WATCH ME” exists as a registered work with an impressive songwriting roster. Whether this leads to a full comeback in the near future or is one piece of a longer-term plan, the simple appearance of K/DA’s name on a new ASCAP entry is enough to put the group back on the radar of both League of Legends players and K-pop fans. Stay tuned for updates the moment anything official drops. The queen of the group may be preparing to make us watch her all over again.
