We Pray will be released on 23 August according to a post on Coldplay’s official Instagram account. The single was first played during Coldplay’s Glastonbury headline set on 29 June, where they were joined by Little Simz and Elyanna, with footage of Burna Boy shown during the performance.
The single will be the second taster from Coldplay’s tenth studio album, Moon Music, due 4 October, following lead single Feels Like I’m Falling In Love, which was released in June.
Coldplay have also announced sustainability measures to make their upcoming release more sustainable. Each vinyl copy of Moon Music – produced by Max Martin – will be made out of nine recycled PET-plastic bottles that have been recovered from waste, which will prevent the manufacture of more than 25 metric tonnes of virgin plastic, and provide an 85% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional 140g vinyl.
Likewise, CD editions of the record will be the first in the world to be released on ‘EcoCD’, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate, sourced from post-consumer waste streams.
There will also be a limited ‘Notebook Edition’ of the record, which comes as a casebound hardback book, a replica of frontman Chris Martin’s original studio notebook. It will contain 28 pages of notes, lyrics and illustrations from the album’s creative process.
