BTS and Coldplay have achieved great heights in the music industry. The two popular bands came together to create award-winning music titled ‘My Universe’. The single is a beloved one and is gaining a lot of attention too.
It was now revealed that the idea of collaborating with BTS was in Coldplay creative director and manager Phil Harvey‘s mind almost two years ago! Phil Harvey is also called the fifth member of Coldplay! During a listening party hosted through Coldplay’s official Twitter account by singer Tim Burgess, Harvey tweeted out to let fans know just how “My Universe” started: eighteen months ago during a conversation with lead singer, Chris Martin. He said, “About 18 months ago, I mentioned to Chris that some members of [BTS] had said they were into our band, and I’d heard a rumour they might like to collaborate. 4 months later he called me super-excited — ‘I’ve got the song for BTS!‘ — and played the demo over the phone.”
He then went on to praise RM, Suga, and J-Hope as their contribution to the lyrical part of the single is praise-worthy. He said, “It was one of those brilliant moments I’ll always remember. The band fleshed it out together and then Chris went to Seoul for 48 hours (most of the time in a quarantined hotel). RM did an amazing job with the Korean lyrics, and SUGA and [J-hope] totally nailed the breakdown.” He also added, “All 7 of their voices blend so well together, and with Chris’. This is my and my three boys’ favourite song. 💜”
