"Orphans" is a song by British rock band Coldplay from their upcoming eighth studio album Everyday Life. It was released on 24 October 2019, along with the single "Arabesque" and will appear on second side of the album Sunset.[1] The song was written by the band members and produced by The Dream Team.[2][3]
Background and promotion
The band announced the release of the songs "Orphans" and "Arabesque" as a dual release on 24 October 2019 as the first singles off Everyday Life.[4] About the content of the songs, lead singer Chris Martin said in an interview with BBC Radio 1 that "some of it’s very personal, about real things in my life, and some of it’s about things that I see or we see, and some of it’s about trying to empathise about what other people are going through".[5] On the day of the release, the band set up a timer counting down to the release of the songs.[6]
Recording
The song was recorded last-minute during the mixing of the album Everyday Life, for which it served as one of two lead singles.[7]
Music video
The music video for the song premiered on 25 October 2019.[8] The music video shows the development of the song from its earliest roots, a voice memo by Chris Martin in which the singer is heard talking about the tuning of his guitar before playing what would become the song's main riff, to the fully polished song that was released.[9]
Live performance
The song was performed live for the first time during NBC's Saturday Night Live on 2 November 2019.
Personnel
Credits adapted from the "Orphans / Arabesque" liner notes.[10]
