Coldplay confirm collaboration with K-pop stars BTS

Coldplay have confirmed their rumoured collaboration with K-pop superstars BTS.

My Universe, which will be sung in both English and Korean, was co-written by the groups and produced by Swedish songwriter and producer Max Martin, who has worked with acts including Britney Spears and Taylor Swift.

The song will be released as a single on September 24 and feature on Coldplay’s forthcoming ninth album Music Of The Spheres.

Two songs have so far been released from the record – Higher Power and the 10-minute Coloratura.

A special performance of the track featuring dancing alien holograms was sent up to Mr Pesquet, who gave the track its first play after midnight on board the ISS.

Coldplay currently hold the title of being the most nominated group at the Brit Awards, with 28 nominations in total and nine award wins.
