Coldplay have announced the tracklist for their upcoming album ‘Moon Music’ – check out the 10-song listing below.
‘Moon Music’ will be the band’s 10th studio album and will be released on October 4. The band had already shared the lead single ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove’ last month and have also previewed another track ‘Good Feelings’ on stage in Rome.
Now, the group have shared a video of frontman Chris Martin writing out the tracklist on their Instagram. “Countdown initiated,” reads the caption on the post. “With just 7 weeks until the release of our new album Moon Music, we’re thrilled to reveal the tracklist.”
Coldplay – ‘Moon Music’ tracklist:
- ‘Moon Music’
- ‘feelslikeimfallinginlove’
- ‘We Pray’ (ft. Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna & Tini)
- ‘Jupiter’
- ‘Good Feelings’ (ft. Ayra Starr)

One of the new songs, ‘We Pray’, is due to be released as a single on August 23 (pre-save/pre-add here), and the band have shared a snippet of it already, which you can check out below.
‘We Pray’ features Little Simz and Burna Boy, as well as Palestinian-Chilean singer Elyanna and Argentine artist Tini, and the band gave it its live debut during their headline set at Glastonbury in June, alongside Simz and Elyanna.
In a four-star review of Coldplay’s record-breaking return to Worthy Farm, NME wrote: “With a run of guest turns, some dad banter and an emotional Michael J. Fox collab, Chris Martin and co. reach to make their fifth headline set one for the books.”
“Will Coldplay top Glasto again? Five more times? Who knows? Martin revealed a few years back that the band planned to stop making music in 2025, telling NME they had a plan to make 12 albums; now number 10 ‘Moon Music’ is coming in October. There’s a question mark over the future, but tonight was a good crack at making history with a set that felt like home.”
At the start of this year, Coldplay revealed that the forthcoming ‘Moon Music’ was almost finished and called it a “second [2021 album] ‘Music Of The Spheres’ volume”.
Martin spoke to NME in 2021 about the “intense” pressure of releasing new music. “We’re going to make 12 albums. Because it’s a lot to pour everything into making them,” he explained at the time.
“I love it and it’s amazing, but it’s very intense too. I feel like because I know that challenge is finite, making this music doesn’t feel difficult, it feels like, ‘This is what we’re supposed to be doing’.”
Later, the singer said that the plan to only make three more Coldplay records “feels right to us”. Martin added: “I think we’ll keep touring, and we’ll always be together as a group of musicians and friends. But I think the story of our albums ends then.”
In other Coldplay news, they were joined on stage by Shawn Mendes last night in Munich for a version of ‘Fix You’.
