"Legends Never Die" is a song by American pop rock band Against the Current. Written by Sebastian Najand, Justin Tranter, Alex Seaver, Alexander Temple, Edouard Brenneisen, Jason Willey, and Kyle Casey Hicks and produced by Seaver, Oliver, and the Riot Games Music Team, the song was designed as the official theme song for the 2017 League of Legends World Championship. It was released on September 15, 2017, under the Riot Games label, after being revealed on the League of Legends YouTube channel the day prior. It is a rock and metal ballad with lyrics about the emotional struggle and grit to become a legend.

The official music video was released on the League of Legends YouTube channel; it is an animation that shows League of Legends champions consistently persisting through setbacks. Alan Walker produced a remix of the song upon its release. The song was well-received upon its release and has since been certified Gold in several countries, as well as Silver in the United Kingdom. Retrospectively, it is widely considered one of the best World Championship songs. Chrissy Costanza, the lead singer of Against the Current, has said that its success changed her career.
