Coldplay and BTS | My Universe (2021)

"My Universe" is an English and Korean song by British rock band Coldplay and South Korean pop group BTS. 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.

"My Universe" 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.


"My Universe" received positive reviews by music 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.
