Selena Gomez Let Somebody Go featuring Chris Martin out now!
Selena Gomez and Coldplay unveiled a dreamy, Inception-style music video for their duet Let Somebody Go Thursday afternoon, months after it was released. In the black-and-white video, Gomez and Martin are shown reaching out to each other as the city drags them away. It's both heartbreaking and enthralling to watch, right up until they have their final hug.
Martin discussed the song and working with Gomez with Apple Music in October. The song is “just a really lovely ballad. And quite early on we realized it needed a female counterpart to the vocal,” Martin said.
He added, “And we were very grateful that when we asked Selena to sing on it, she loved the song and was happy to do so. Collaborations in general are something that we’ve done more of recently. We never really used to do it before. When we were younger, we kind of locked ourselves in a room and felt we had to prove everything ourselves. But I think as time has gone on, it’s become more interesting for us to work with other people from different parts of the world, different genres. It just adds color and character to the music.”
Today, Gomez teased the music video on her own Instagram, posting a fun behind-the-scenes shot of her and Martin on set together, tongues out at the camera.She added the caption, " “Let Somebody Go Video is out now!! coldplay". She also tagged the band.
Let Somebody Go is the third single from the British group’s album Music of the Spheres, released in October. The album's first two songs were Higher Power, which is nominated for best pop duo/group performance at the 2022 Grammys, and My Universe, which included BTS.
