In terms of vocals, everyone does excellently and their voices combine perfectly for the alternative pop rock themes of the song. The use of Korean is a great way for Coldplay to show their camaraderie with BTS as well as their respect for their music and lyrical prowess.

As I mentioned, the song was co-written by some of the BTS members themselves alongside Coldplay and I feel that their input with the Korean lyrics shows a mutual respect between the two bands, with both English and Korean being utilised thoroughly throughout. The Korean lyrics work excellently with the English ones too, both in regards to how they fit into the flow of the song and how their translations relate to the English lyrics. This could also be perceived as a song for both the BTS and Coldplay fan-bases, especially during this difficult time when we aren’t able to see our favourite bands in concert. This can be taken in a romantic way but the lyrics can easily refer to any kind of love for another, be it a partner, a family member etc. The lyrics of “My Universe” are simple, sweet and straightforward as the words wax lyrical about someone being the centre of their universe and being made complete by them. Their lyrics and composition mesh together brilliantly, creating a song that perfectly represents both groups in terms of sound and themes. The rappers and main song writers of BTS- RM, Suga and jhope- had a hand in writing the song along with the four Coldplay members Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Will Champion and Guy Berryman ( Phil Harvey is the fifth member of Coldplay but he is their creative director rather than a songwriter) and this involvement is what gives the song that BTS sound alongside the Coldplay tone. The song has that soft, alternate rock atmosphere that Coldplay do so well but there is a certain something about the tune that also makes it inherently BTS too (and I don’t just mean the Korean language segments when I say that). The song itself manages to have the tell-tale signs of both traditional Coldplay and BTS songs, which is an impressive feat in itself seeing as Coldplay are a British band made up of middle aged men that have been around for twenty five years and BTS are a Korean group of young men who started off as teenagers and have been around for eight years or so.
