Coldplay’s catchy song A Sky Full of Stars was a collaboration between Swedish DJ Avicii Tim Bergling and the British rock band’s lead vocalist Chris Martin. The track was released on May 2nd, 2014 as the third single from their sixth studio album, Ghost Stories. This truly unique Coldplay song fuses the sound of electronic dance music (EDM) with their usual emotional pop ballad style in a metaphor comparing love to a sky full of stars a symbol for enduring admiration, devotion and light in darkness. It also became one of their all-time biggest hits and commercially most successful songs due to its danceable tune and hit-making production by Avicii himself.

A Sky Full of Stars Lyrics
‘Cause you’re a sky, ’cause you’re a sky full of stars
I’m gonna give you my heart
‘Cause you’re a sky, ’cause you’re a sky full of stars
‘Cause you light up the path
I don’t care, go on and tear me apart
I don’t care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh
‘Cause in a sky, ’cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
‘Cause you’re a sky, ’cause you’re a sky full of stars
I wanna die in your arms, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
‘Cause you get lighter the more it gets dark
I’m gonna give you my heart, oh
I don’t care, go on and tear me apart
I don’t care if you do, ooh-ooh, ooh
‘Cause in a sky, ’cause in a sky full of stars
I think I see you, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
I think I see you, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
‘Cause you’re a sky, you’re a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
You’re such a heavenly view, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
