Hymn for the Weekend

This clubby and dreamy track features Beyoncé's vocals. Queen Bey played alongside Coldplay at the 2015 Global Citizen festival and also contributed to another A Head Full Of Dreams track, "Up & Up."

Singer Chris Martin told London's Magic Radio's Jo Parkerson that this song features more of Beyoncé than she originally expected. "On one song, 'Hymn For The Weekend,' I said, 'Could this be a bit more of a duet?'" the vocalist said, "and we just - she was just so lovely to watch sing. She's so good, it's insane." "When she's on the microphone in the studio, you can just tell that this is a person that can choose any color from the palette and do it perfectly, musically," Martin added. "She sounds a bit different, and she was very kind of humble. She didn't really want, she didn't ask for anything or say 'I need my own bit here.' She was so lovely."

Chris Martin originally wanted this to be a party jam, but his bandmates didn't think that would go down well with their fan base. He told The Wall Street Journal: "The original kernel was that I was listening to Flo Rida or something, and I thought, it's such a shame that Coldplay could never have one of those late-night club songs, like 'Turn Down For What.' What would we call it if we had one? I thought I'd like to have a song called 'Drinks on Me' where you sit on the side of a club and buy everyone drinks because you're so f--king cool. I was chuckling about that, when this melody came - 'drinks on me, drinks on me' - then the rest of the song came out." "I presented it to the rest of the band and they said, "We love this song, but there's no way you can sing 'drinks on me.'" So that changed into 'drink from me' and the idea of having an angelic person in your life. Then that turned into asking Beyoncé to sing on it."
