Track marks the first official offering from the group’s upcoming 10th studio album, Moon Music
Coldplay are back with a new single, “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love” — or, stylized as, “feelslikeimfallinginlove” — the first offering from their upcoming album, Moon Music, out Oct. 4.
Produced by pop maestro Max Martin, “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love” is a shimmering ode to opening up one’s heart, despite the risks of being hurt. “Feels like I’m falling in love/You’re throwing me a lifeline/Oh now for the first time/I know I’m not alone,” Chris Martin sings on the final chorus before the track peaks for its stadium-sized outro.
Coldplay announced Moon Music, their 10th studio album and follow-up to 2021’s Music of the Spheres, earlier this week. Prior to releasing “Feels Like I’m Falling in Love,” the band debuted another new song, “All My Love,” at their first-ever concert in Athens, Greece earlier this month. Martin quipped that the crowd wasn’t supposed to hear the song until September, suggesting it’s likely to appear on Moon Music (though a full track list still hasn’t been released).
When Coldplay did announce Moon Music, the band said it would release the album on a variety of formats that meet “new sustainability standards.” For instance, each copy of the album pressed on vinyl will be made from nine recycled plastic bottles, while the CD version will be made form 90 percent recycled polycarbonate. The band said its efforts would reduce CO2 emissions in production by at least 78 percent and avoid the use of more than five metric tonnes of virgin plastic.
Coldplay are in the midst of a European tour that will continue through September; next week they’ll return to the U.K. though to headline Glastonbury for a record fifth time. In October and November, they’ll play a bunch of shows in Australia and New Zealand.
