Singapore takes centre stage in Coldplay's Man In The Moon video

Coldplay on Feb 7 released its music video Man In The Moon and the MV, which currently trends at #14 on YouTube, would make Singaporean chests swell with pride.

Man In The Moon is from the extended Full Moon Edition of the band's latest international No. 1 album Moon Music.

Coldplay said: "While we were in Singapore, we shot the video and captured some of the amazing, young, vibrant people that we had met.

"We are interested in shooting things in places we have never filmed before and mixing people up as much as possible.

"It was really fun to have a kind of dance party out in the middle of the water, just us and the otters."

Set against Singapore's unique cityscape, the video spotlights Singapore's iconic spots and hidden gems, from Marina Bay to Fort Canning Park and vibrant neighbourhoods.

The MV features young people of diverse backgrounds and identities portrayed by Singapore talents.

Singapore's multi-cultural environment provides a fitting backdrop, where people with different backgrounds and stories converge, embodying the song's theme of unity and shared experiences transcending individual differences.

The MV was directed Ben Mor, known for his work on Coldplay's Hymn For The Weekend music video.

Man In The Moon MV was filmed in partnership with Warner Music Singapore and Singapore Tourism Board.

It was shot in January 2024 during the band's Music of the Spheres World Tour stop in Singapore.
