"My Universe" on YouTube |
"My Universe" is an English and Korean song by British rock band Coldplay and South Korean pop group BTS.[4] It was released on 24 September 2021, through Parlophone and Atlantic Records, as the second official single from Music of the Spheres, the former group's ninth studio album.[5] It debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming BTS' sixth US chart-topper and Coldplay's second after 2008's "Viva la Vida". The single is also the first track by two co-billed lead groups to top the chart and the first song by a British group to debut at number one in the United States' history.[6][7]
"My Universe" has been positively received by critics. It premiered at number three in the UK Singles Chart, claiming the second-biggest week of the year in downloads,[8] and eventually becoming the most downloaded song of 2021 by a group in the country.[9] The track also reached number one in Hungary, Malaysia and Singapore; the top ten in Australia, Belgium, Canada, India, Ireland, and South Korea; and the top twenty of twelve other countries, including Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, and New Zealand.
The official music video, directed by Dave Meyers, was released on 30 September 2021 and features both groups performing on different futuristic planets (Floris, Calypso, and Supersolis) alongside a fictional band named "Supernova 7" via the "HOLOBAND" technology developed by DJ Lafrique, set in an era where music is banned around the universe.
Background[]
The title of the song was first announced as part of the track listing release of Music of the Spheres in July 2021 without any mention of the song featuring BTS.[10] A snippet of the song was included in a trailer titled "Overtura", also omitting any evidence of the Korean group being involved.[11] On 13 September 2021, the song was revealed to be a collaboration between Coldplay and BTS.[12] The single was announced through a coded message on Coldplay's Alien Radio FM social media account.[13] Following the release of the "Permission to Dance" music video in early July 2021, the groups first collaborated during an episode of the YouTube series Released, during which they joined a discussion with Coldplay's frontman Chris Martin on what inspired the "#PermissionToDance Challenge".[14] However, speculations about a collaboration between the two groups had already started circulating in February 2021, after BTS covered their 2005 hit song "Fix You" on MTV Unplugged.[15] On 26 September, the Inside My Universe making-of documentary of the song was released, alongside a "Supernova 7" remix and an acoustic version.[16] A third remix, done by Suga of BTS, was released on 18 October.[17] Additional remixes by Galantis and David Guetta were released in November.[18][19]
Music video[]
A space-themed lyric video, featuring animated handwritten lyrics from both bands in English and Korean, was released together with the song on 24 September 2021.[20] Additional visualizers for the instrumental and three remix versions of the track were published in the following days.[21][22]
A music video directed by Dave Meyers was released on 30 September 2021.[23] Set in the Spheres planetary system, where music has been banned by the "Silencers", the video depicts Coldplay, BTS, and the fictional alien band Supernova 7 performing "My Universe" together. Though located on different planets, the three groups are united as holograms through "HOLOBAND" technology controlled by alien DJ Lafrique, who broadcasts their performance throughout the system from her radio ship while being hunted by the Silencers.[24] Coldplay filmed the video at an empty, abandoned municipal swimming pool complex in Rubí, Barcelona, in July 2021. The BTS portion was shot on a green-screen stage at a studio in Seoul, South Korea, two weeks after the Barcelona shoot.[25][26] The green screen was useful to make the visual effects, such as the groups' holographic versions, and to unite the scenes from both groups.[27]
Live performances[]
On 23 September 2021, a day before the song was officially released, Coldplay performed "My Universe" on Pandora's Small Stage Series at the Apollo Theater in New York City.[28] Chris Martin performed a short acoustic rendition of the song as a preview during his guest appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, which aired the following day.[29] On 25 September, the band performed the song at the Global Citizen Festival in New York's Central Park, with BTS appearing virtually via a pre-recorded video that played onscreen behind them. Martin also attempted to sing some of BTS' Korean verses.[30] The following month, the band performed the song during their guest appearance on The Graham Norton Show on 15 October,[31] at the 2021 Earthshot Prize ceremony at Alexandra Palace in London two days later (in which 60 cyclists pedalling on bikes provided the power for their performance),[32] and as part of their closing set for Audacy's 8th annual We Can Survive charity concert held at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on 23 October.
Coldplay and BTS performed "My Universe" for the first time together at the 2021 American Music Awards on 21 November at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.[33] On 2 December, Martin joined BTS to perform the song at the latter's Permission to Dance on Stage concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.[34]
Critical reception[]
Rhian Daly from NME gave the song a positive review of four stars out of five and called it "a celestial ode to unity, hope and the power of love". She also noted that while some might view the track as an unusual pairing, the two acts joining forces "makes complete sense" because "both share a predilection for a poetic and heartfelt approach to their music; as well as being two of the biggest bands in the world, they are also two of modern pop's deepest thinkers, imbuing their lyrics with touching statements on love and life."[35]
Awards and nominations[]
The song received five non-consecutive weekly Melon Popularity Awards in South Korea.[36]
