Coldplay premieres new song 'Higher Power' in space
"The song is about trying to find the astronaut in all of us."
Apparently not content with being one of the biggest bands on Earth, Coldplay is venturing into outer space.
The rock band premiered its much-anticipated new single, "Higher Power," Thursday evening with a video that aired aboard the International Space Station.
The band spoke to ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet, who is on board the spacecraft, about life in orbit before Pesquet introduced the video.
"The song is about trying to find the astronaut in all of us, the person that can do amazing things," Chris Martin, the band's front man, said before the premiere.
The video is streaming now on YouTube.
"Higher Power," produced by pop super-producer Max Martin, follows Coldplay's 2019 double album, "Everyday Life."
The track will get its live debut this Sunday when Chris Martin and company play it on ABC's "American Idol."
Martin also will serve as a guest mentor to the remaining contestants during the episode.
