“It’s a love song that came from a loving text,” Chris Martin tells Apple Music of “My Universe,” a new single with BTS from Coldplay’s Max Martin-produced ninth studio album. Big and smooth and bright, it’s a pop song through and through—perfect for a collaboration with the K-pop megastars. “It’s a song about love that’s difficult, or it's forbidden, or you can't quite get it together, so it felt like really cool to have two bands that, it's a difficult love story, but it works in the end,” Chris says. “I love them, and we love them, and it's been such a joy. It's something you could look at so cynically—and we have at times—but anytime there's actual communication or music between us, it just feels so good. I unabashedly and unashamedly feel really grateful for the song, grateful for the person that inspired the song, and grateful for the people we sing it with.” Hear “My Universe,” and pre-add Music of the Spheres. Once it’s released, the entire album will be available in your library instantly.
