A new version of Coldplayโ€™s hit single, WE PRAY is out today worldwide. The collaboration with TWICE – which includes a Korean language verse from the K-pop superstars – is available to stream / download at coldplay.lnk.to/WEPRAYTWICE. It follows the previously-released Little Simz, TINI, Elyanna and Jasleen Royal versions of the song.

Said TWICE of the collaboration: โ€œWe believe that WE PRAY is a song about overcoming hardships together and sharing a message of peace and hope. Weโ€™re truly honored to collaborate with Coldplay on this release, and especially proud that each of us recorded our lines in Korean, allowing us to deliver our heartfelt emotions in our own language. Please show us lots of support and love!”

TWICE are the main support at Coldplayโ€™s record-breaking stadium run in Seoul, where they also debuted their version of WE PRAY on stage with Coldplay during the bandโ€™s opening night set on Wednesday night.

WE PRAY โ€“ which has topped airplay and download charts around the world โ€“ also features acclaimed UK rapper Little Simz, Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Burna Boy, Palestinian-Chilean R&B phenomenon Elyanna and chart-topping Argentine TINI.

The song is taken from Coldplayโ€™s current album, Moon Music, which debuted at No. 1 on album charts around the world, including the US, where it became Coldplayโ€™s fifth US No. 1 album (more than any other UK solo act or group this century) and in the UK, where it outsold the rest of the Top 40 combined.

In December, Coldplay won Top Rock Touring Artist at the Billboard Music Awards for the second consecutive year. Since kicking off in March 2022, the bandโ€™s Music Of The Spheres World Tour has sold over 12 million tickets across Europe, North America, Latin America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, making it the highest attended tour in history.

The band recently issued an update on the tourโ€™s sustainability initiatives, revealing that, on a show-by-show comparison, the current tour has so far produced 59% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, exceeding their original target of a 50% reduction.

Even if not a single thread of light falls down in the darkness 

 

MINA

Even if not a single bit of warmth is given 

 

SANA 

Even if no one looks at me 

 

TZUYU

May I bloom alone, may I shine through 

 

DAHYUN

When dawn arrives
 

NAYEON 

Will we be smiling at the end of that road

 

JEONGYEON

At the edge of the cliff, will we be holding each other? 

 

MOMO

Tell me the answer 

 

CHAEYOUNG

Will we disappear or last forever 

So we just pray
