The single will appear on the band’s rumoured final album ‘A Head Full of Dreams’ which will be released on December 4th

Lead singer Chris Martin spoke to SiriusXM about the record and explained how legendary rock band Guns N’ Roses helped to influence their new song, “When we finished [the song], we were like, ‘Okay we are probably ready to come out again’. This is one of those songs that brings everything else together on a project. I’m not really on it that much – I sing a bit and play a bit of piano — but it’s really the rest of the band on form. It makes me happy to listen to it.”

Martin continued: “I’d been begging Jonny [Buckland] our guitarist for years to make a riff that I like as much as ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ by Guns N’ Roses, then he showed me that one, and I was like, ‘That’s it!’ So those elements all came together, and we just wanted to kind of embrace our love of joyful music and sort of let it free.”
