Issued on September 24, the ambient pop tune from British rockers Coldplay and superstar K-pop boy band BTS features Coldplay frontman Chris Martin rallying and harmonising vocals with members of the South Korean septet as they sing in both English and Korean.
The song features sleek instrumentals, playful vocal distortions and twinkling synth effects and is the third track pre-released ahead of the launch of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres album, out on October 15.
My Universe arrived with an animated music video focused on the lyrics and drawings inspired by them.
BTS and Coldplay had dropped hints about the collaboration for several months ahead of the release of My Universe, after BTS performed the British band’s Fix You in February when they appeared on MTV Unplugged. Prior to that, members of BTS, especially V, had expressed their admiration for Coldplay.
