LONDON -- Wondering what you were going to be listening to this weekend? Well wonder no more: Coldplay have shared their collaboration with Beyoncé, "Hymn For The Weekend."
With its debut on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show Monday night, "Hymn For The Weekend" is an upbeat ode to having a bloody good time and also features choral vocals from Blue Ivy and Chris Martin's children, Apple and Moses.
Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman spoke with Mac about how the collaboration came about. "Well we had a song idea. It actually started off being quite a different kind of vibe, this song," Berryman said.
"Chris was wanting to write a sort of party song, and the words were 'drinks on me, drinks on me.' We said to him, 'look, you can't say that, you can't get away with that' and so the whole kind of story of the song changed and then um, he asked Beyoncé to sing on it and she very kindly said she would."
Easy as pie.
As expected, Queen Bey was ever the professional: "She came in, she did her thing, she was unbelievably professional. I think she was in and out within five minutes," Berryman continued. "We're just so blessed to have her sing on one of our songs."
Aren't we all.
