Lost!

29th September 2008

Lost!

It has been announced that Coldplay's next single will be Lost! It will be released as a four-track, digital-only EP on November 10th across the world. The single's video, filmed in Chicago, looks like this. Here's an exclusive little story from Will about the track's genesis.

"That song had been around for a long time, without ever getting finished. I was starting to get into using a particular drum programming programme. I was messing around with that and I built this beat up from scratch. Then Chris overheard it and played Lost! over the top of it."

Et voila! A cracking tune was born.
