K/DA Announces FIRESTARTER EP with Four Songs and Confirms Release Date

K/DA has announced its new EP "FIRESTARTER," featuring four songs and set for release in 2026. The virtual League of Legends group revealed the full tracklist, featured artists, and new character designs on Monday, October 19.

The announcement comes just one day after the release of "FIRESTARTER", the group's first original single in nearly six years. Alongside the already released track, the EP will feature three additional songs, including "WATCH ME," which had previously appeared in copyright records.

Alongside the tracklist, Riot Games shared an image revealing which K/DA characters will be portrayed by the project's four main vocalists.

• MIYEON (i-dle): Ahri.
• SOYEON (i-dle): Akali.
• Sophie Powers: Evelynn.
• Mimi Webb: Kai'Sa.

MIYEON and SOYEON return to the characters they have portrayed since K/DA's debut in 2018. Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb provide the voices of Evelynn and Kai'Sa for this new project.

All Songs on K/DA's New FIRESTARTER EP

The "FIRESTARTER" EP features four songs with contributions from MIYEON, SOYEON, Sophie Powers, Mimi Webb, Sorana, and Royal & The Serpent. The tracklist also confirms a song featuring DJ Sona, the music-themed character from League of Legends.

Here's the complete FIRESTARTER tracklist and the featured artists on each song:

1. FIRESTARTER: MIYEON and SOYEON (i-dle), Sophie Powers, and Mimi Webb.
2. WATCH ME: Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb.
3. NEVER GOING BACK: MIYEON and SOYEON (i-dle).
4. GIRLS (w/ DJ Sona): Sophie Powers, Sorana, and Royal & The Serpent.

One of the biggest reveals is the confirmation of "WATCH ME." Back in August, a song with that title appeared in a registration with the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), sparking speculation about K/DA's return.

At the time, it was unclear whether the track was part of the group's upcoming project. Riot Games has now officially confirmed its inclusion on the EP, with Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb providing the vocals.

Another surprise is "GIRLS," which features DJ Sona. The League of Legends character is closely associated with music in the game's universe and is now connected to one of the tracks on the new release.

When Does K/DA's FIRESTARTER EP Come Out?

K/DA's "FIRESTARTER" EP will be released on October 21, 2026, at 6 PM PDT (9 PM EDT). For international listeners, that corresponds to 01:00 UTC on October 22.

Fans can already visit the official FIRESTARTER EP pre-save page, shared by Riot Games alongside the tracklist announcement.

So far, "FIRESTARTER" is the only song from the project to receive an official music video. Riot has not announced whether the other three tracks will also get their own videos.
