In the video message, lead guitarist Johnny Buckland invited the viewers to support their album "Music Of The Spheres" saying, "…it’s really about everything we’ve been going through, I suppose. Love, and loss, happiness and friendship and everything everybody goes through."

The video then goes on to show two singles in the space-themed album, "Higher Power," and their collaborative track with BTS, "My Universe" which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 when it was released in September.

"Working with BTS was absolutely wonderful. They were so lovely, so kind, and obviously unbelievably talented. And we’re so grateful for them, for singing on the song," Buckland raved.

Lead vocalist Chris Martin chimed in, "It’s just been an amazing pleasure, and more than we could have dreamed."

"The only message we’d like to send to BTS is to say, ‘Thank you, and we love you," he added.
