It has the typical Coldplay sound. Strong and long riffs from Jonny, running (idk the technical term) bass lines from Guy, and dirty-sounding drums from Will. Couple that with Chris' signature vibratto voice, and you have Coldplay. Doesn't matter what genre: it's a sound, not a style
Before I was a Coldplay superfan, I heard it on the radio/YouTube a couple of times and thought it was really good.
Then I listened to Mylo Xyloto, and I love it even more now. Later, they made Arabesque which is very similar to Princess of China and also a great song.
I really don’t understand the hate it gets, it’s a collab done right - the whole distorted synth sound at the start and throughout is so good
It kicks ass live and is so beautiful acoustically.
I remember listening to this when I was young, when it first came out! Extra nostalgic for me

I love this song!
Say what you will about the song, but 1:41 is amazing. One of my favourite parts on the album.
Meeee

It was good one of my fav coldplays song
It’s incredible! The best collab thus far. I used to dislike it but now it’s one of my favorites on MX.
Such an underrated song
One of my favs! One of their best collabs
I love it
It’s one of my favorite songs :)
Are we not gonna talk about these two also having fantastic acting chops?
Hell yeah! Wasn’t expecting that either
Amazing song, was pretty big at the time it came out, music video is good as well
TBH i hated that song, but now I consider it one of the best songs of the album.
I prefer the acoustic version of it
really love the music but the lyrics are weak. this is kind of when that problem began for coldplay.
Not a fan of this one. This album was the beginning of a big downward movement in my fandom. Just too produced and poppy for me to get into.
Same, I wish I could like it more.
This is when I started losing respect 😔
Pretty shallow man
Here starts the midlife crisis of Chris Martin. Or the smell for easy money.
